I've got a challenge at work I've been asked to work on: Starting with a Word document of about 1000 pages (don't ask; I didn't do it) and 2187 graphics (again, not my fault!), we want to turn this into a working FM 7.x document that has the graphics no longer embedded and instead stored off in a graphics directory of some kind and linked at the appropriate places in the Frame document. There's not always an associated figure caption, so naming of the graphics is going to have to be something pretty arbitrary (even if its only oh a page number from the Word document or something).
For the obvious reasons, including the writer who has to work on this possibly beating himself to unconsciousness with his keyboard, I'd like to automate as much of this process for him as possible. I haven't done any huge imports like this before and the question of how to extract the embedded graphics and replace them with a link is not something I've dealth with before. Is this best done BEFORE the import (using, say, a Word macro or manipulating the RTF file), AFTER the import (using a FrameScript or some sequence of find/replaces on the MIF file), or via some other mechanism? Many thanks!
