### 31.2.7 Exporting embedded graphics imported from Word

When you import Word documents that contain embedded images into FrameMaker, you might not have access to the original graphics, and you might not know what tool was used to create them. Even so, you can have Mif2Go export those images from FrameMaker in their original formats, and save them as external graphics files.

Internally, Word uses WMF, a vector format, to hold graphics. So you might be getting the Word graphics as WMF, or as something else, depending on the import filter. Internally, FrameMaker stores the embedded images as graphic insets. While the graphics do not have their original file names, they do retain the original data, in FrameMaker’s own (lossless) encoding. Mif2Go can extract the images and save them in their original formats, with new names. You do not have to know the formats in advance; just tell Mif2Go to export everything, including OLE objects, and see what you get. See §31.2.3 Exporting and converting embedded graphics.

To replace the embedded graphics in FrameMaker with references to their exported counterparts, see §2.5.3 Replacing embedded graphics with referenced graphics.
