#### 31.2.4.1 Extracting the WMF preview image from an OLE object

Each OLE object contains one or more WMF images. One of these is the preview image you see in FrameMaker; we guess it is the last WMF in the object, and that is what Mif2Go extracts, by default:

[GraphExport]

; ImportGraphics = Normal (default), Retain (in file)

; or Export (ext files)

ImportGraphics=Normal

; ExportWMFFiles=Yes (makes external .wmf files) or No (default)

ExportWMFFiles=Yes

When ImportGraphics=Normal, Mif2Go exports the extracted WMF preview image as a .wmf file; otherwise the image is not exported.

When ImportGraphics=Export, Mif2Go does not hunt for a preview WMF image in an OLE objects and merely dumps out the object. Our experience has been that such objects cannot be converted to anything useful. However, you might find that by changing the .ole extension to the extension required by the application that produced the object, the file can be opened and edited in the original application; see §31.2.4.4 Retrieving OLE objects for use in the original application.
