What I was thinking was import the one RTF file into FrameMaker, then save the graphics out since once it's in Frame it's a PNG. Someone like Rick Quatro or Russ Ward or Bernard Aschwanden probably has a script that does that already, or can write one for not too much money.
Although from the point of wanting a vector graphic, Rick's workaround is obviously a better solution and probably about equally tedious. :) You can join the Word-PD list here: word-pc-subscribe-requ...@liverpool.ac.uk You don't have to put anything in the subject or message body. Good luck. I'm sorry we haven't been able to come up with anything beyond a really, really manual solution so far.
