Or as something else; that's up to the import filter. Possibly even the original format imported into Word, since, unlike Frame, Word does retain the name of the imported file. In any case, what you will get from the Mif2Go export is whatever is there in Frame. Internally, Frame stores the embedded images as graphic insets. While they don't have the original file name, they do retain the original data, just in Frame's own (lossless) encoding. So we can get it out and save it in its originally-imported (into Frame) format, with a new name. Just try it and see what happens. You don't have to know the format in advance, just tell Mif2Go to export everything, including OLE objects, and see what you get. ;-) -- Jeremy H.
