Extracting embedded graphics from Word

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Pat,

I have done several FrameScript scripts over the years to do this. The
process depends on how much control you need over the graphic file names.
For example, here is the workflow we used on one project:

1) The client imported the Word documents into FrameMaker.
2) The client used a script to "mark" each graphic with the desired file
name.
3) The client ran another script that exported each graphic to a specified
folder with the desired name. The same script then re-imported the image by
reference.

I have done more automatic variations that derive the graphic file names
automatically, based on the FrameMaker file name and page number of the
graphic.

Of course with FrameScript, just about anything is possible. If you give me
some more details on your requirements offlist, I will let you know what is
possible. Thank you very much.

Subject: Extracting embedded graphics from Word

Hi -

I have approximately 2000 pages to convert from Word to Frame. The  
graphics are embedded but the client wants them imported by reference  
in Frame. I tried "extracting" them from Word by saving a file as  
HTML but the graphics became blurry and unusable. They look fine when  
I open the Word file in Frame.

Is there a way to extract graphics from Word without losing quality?  
Or a utility that converts embedded graphics in Frame into imported- 
by-reference?

Thanks for any help.
