Or provide you with a license for Visio. For your purposes, you'd only need 
Visio Standard (rather than Visio Professional, which adds data linking 
capabilities and collaborative features that you don't need), which has a list 
price of $250 for a perpetual license. I've seen Visio offered by third parties 
for less than $100.

I believe that unless you have Visio installed on your computer, you cannot 
insert Visio graphics as embedded (OLE) objects because the link inherent in 
OLE is between two applications -- the original app [Visio in this case] and 
the one that is reusing it [Frame in this case]. The OLE embedding allows you 
to edit the original graphic from within the FrameMaker UI by double-clicking 
on it.

Note that embedding is *not* the same thing as pasting a graphic into Frame. 
Nor is it the same as inserting a graphic by reference. They are three separate 
methods, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.

But if you wish to pursue your idea of having "the company" (presumably meaning 
your colleagues...) provide graphics in a FrameMaker-friendly format, my 
personal suggestion would be PDF, particularly if the graphics originated in a 
vector drawing application rather than being raster images (e.g., screen shots 
or photographic images)

Thank you for your replies.

This is my first time having to work with a graphic format I couldn't
reference or not having any control over the format. The book is over 3000
pages and at least 2000 of those pages are full page graphic images (all
Visio and I do not have the Visio software). If I try and embed by OLE
this many graphics, is my book going to be an unmanageable size?

Thinking I need to request the company provide me with graphics in a
FrameMaker friendly format.
