Interesting:
This seems to refer to graphics that get embedded into a Word 2000 document,
not linked. If Word2000 saves the PNG, EMF, GIF, and JPEG data, I wonder if
it is possible to get the original image back out? Previously, Save as HTML
was the only way to do this, with the result being a generally unacceptable
72-dpi GIF.
I wonder what happens to embedded BMP, TIFF, and other formats?
I wonder how this affects files that are imported by reference?
Cheers,
Sean
