6.14.2.3 Leaving graphics unconverted for Word (no scaling)

If a graphics file imported into (or exported from) your FrameMaker document is in a format other than BMP, WMF, RF (FrameImage), or FrameMaker native vector, and you do not specify how it should be converted or mapped, by default Mif2Go plunks the name of the graphics file into the RTF output file and lets Word try to cope. Sometimes it can.

For each such graphic, Mif2Go embeds an INCLUDEPICTURE field in the Word file, and leaves it to Word to import the graphic. There is no way to specify scaling. Word imports the graphic at its “native” size, based on 96 DPI. If you imported the graphics by reference into FrameMaker at 96 DPI, the scaling should come out right. See §6.14.12 Updating fields in Word to show linked graphics.

Word does not like file paths in INCLUDEPICTURE fields, so you might want to set the following option:

[Graphics]

FilePaths=None
