#### 5.7.4.3 Naming external graphic metafiles

Mif2Go generates external metafiles for WinHelp; see §31.2.6 Embedding bitmap graphics in WMF for WinHelp for more information.

By default, Mif2Go uses the first five characters of the base file name, and adds a three-digit number. You can change the number of characters and digits:

[Graphics]

; MetaNameChars = chars from base file name

; to use in external WMF file names

MetaNameChars = 5

; MetaNumDigits = number of digits

; to use in external WMF file names

MetaNumDigits = 3

Each appearance of a graphic produces a new file, even if the same graphic has appeared before; and for WinHelp each subscript, superscript, and symbol also produces a metafile. To decide how many characters and digits to specify, consider all of the following:

• If a FrameMaker file you are converting to WinHelp contains more than 999 images, you must increase the number of digits used.

• If you are trying to keep to 8.3 file names, you might have to reduce the number of letters accordingly.

• If your conversion project includes FrameMaker files whose names do not differ in the first three characters, you must increase the number of characters to use.
