This amusing article about more or less extinct image formats reminded
me of this thread.

That's what I've been telling you. You're using 5.5.6, a release
that's 23 years old this month. Of course it can't import a lot of
formats created later. Which includes variants of formats such as
.jpg, .gif, .bmp that did exist back then.

them) failed. I also tried several other tools, including Preview and
Mathematica,
FM 5.5.6 was released in November 1998. Do you have some old
FrameMaker projects with image files of the same vintage?
If so, see if you can reproduce the import error with any of them. If

Hi,
I have a legacy version of Framemaker (v5) and a collection of .fm files that I
am trying to edit.
One of the edits tries to add a .jpeg image to a file. To do this, I create and
select an empty
