Nope. ;-) At least, not when they represent Visio files. One of our customers (Intel) actually discovered this, and told us about it. It turns out that if you export the OLE objects with Mif2Go, and rename the files from .ole to .vsd, you can open them in Visio just fine. Use this setting in mif2htm.ini: [GraphExport] ExportOleFiles=Yes That will make the *.ole files in the output directory. You need to rename them, perhaps with a console command: C:\>ren *.ole *.vsd If you were actually using them in Mif2Go outputs, you'd rename them with a BookFileCommand, and also set: [GraphSuffix] ole=vsd so that the HTML Mif2Go produced referenced them correctly. When the OLE objects do *not* represent Visio files, you don't use ExportOleFiles=Yes. Then Mif2Go goes through the OLE objects and hunts down a likely WMF, and exports *that*. Sometimes if there are multiple WMFs it will choose the wrong one, in which case you can set: [GraphExport] MultipleOLE=Yes and we'll output *all* of them. This is in the User's Guide par. 29.2.3.7, "Setting export options for OLE objects". HTH! -- Jeremy H.
