RE: Word graphics unclear in FrameMaker

[Jennifer Randel <jennifer_randel -at- khsd -dot- k12 -dot- ca -dot- us>]

Hi, Benzi.
I've had to convert many docs from Word into FM and I have _always_ had to re-capture the screen shots. I have never found a good way to get graphics imbedded in Word into another format that was readable.

I know it may feel like reinventing the wheel, but if you take the time now to re-capture the screen shots, you'll be glad next time you have to update the document.

Good luck,
Jennifer

Subject: Word graphics unclear in FrameMaker

Hi,

I have a Word document with embedded graphics. I'm converting the document to FrameMaker. The graphics are clear in the Word document, but when I copy them into PaintShop Pro and save them as GIFs ior JPEGs, and subsequently create anchored frames in FrameMaker and import the saved files, the graphics are blurred.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Benzi
