Re: Word graphics unclear in FrameMaker?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Word actually has a pretty good graphics algorithm, it's
the cross-application transfer that is wonky (Frame has 
similar issues with graphics that are created in its 
drawing tool or embedded instead of being imported by 
reference).  If you have MS Visio, copy/paste the 
graphics from Word to Visio (Visio and other MS office 
applications use the same graphics algorithm as Word), 
then save out of Visio as bmp or wmf.  If you don't have
Visio, use Acrobat to pdf the Word page the graphic 
is on at the highest resolution setting (1200dpi), then 
export the image from the pdf in Acrobat as tiff.
