Getting graphics out of a file

Hi Lynn,

If you still have the Word file, save it as a .docx if it already isn't
one. Then in Windows Explorer change the extension to .zip. Open the
WordDoc.zip in Windows Explorer (right-click > Open). All the embedded
graphics will be preserved as stand-alone graphic files in the word/media
folder.
Then it's simply a tedious process of renaming the graphic files, and
replacing the embedded one in FM with referenced versions of these.

Best,

Baruch Brodersen
