#### 15.7.8 Embedding graphics in converted RTF files

If your conversion project is set up so that DITA2Go inserts field references to graphics instead of the graphics themselves (because they are not in WMF or BMP format, for example), you might want to do the following:

1. Open the .rtf file in Word. When you do so, Word imports all the graphics named in the fields, if possible.
2. Save the file as .doc. The .doc file includes the graphics, and you do not need to provide the graphics files themselves along with the Word file.

If you provide only the .rtf file, you have to provide any graphics files also. To find out if the .rtf file contains graphics, check the size: files containing graphics are much larger than files that only reference graphics.
