31.2.3.5 Setting export options for all embedded graphics

To export embedded graphics from your document:

[GraphExport]

; make external files when they need to be converted or changed

; normally wmf, bmp, and rf files do *not* need to be changed

; the first sets the default for the rest

; ImportGraphics =

; Normal (default),

; Retain (in file), or

; Export (external files)

ImportGraphics = Export

Settings for ImportGraphics have the following effects on your document when you run Mif2Go:

Normal	Retains embedded graphics of some types without exporting them, as indicated by the default listed for each type in §31.2.3.6 Setting export options for each embedded graphic type.
Retain	Does not export any embedded graphics.
Export	Exports all embedded graphics.

Normally, Mif2Go does not export BMP, WMF, or FrameImage (RF) graphics, because these types can be converted successfully for RTF output without creating external files. Mif2Go exports all other types by default, so you can use a third-party graphics conversion tool to convert the images to a usable format. See §5.7.2.3 Using third-party graphics converters.

To produce the WMF images required for RTF output (Word or WinHelp), Mif2Go can use only BMP, WMF, and RF embedded graphics; if your document contains embedded graphics in other formats, you must provide Mif2Go with replacement images.
