I end up with a lot of content in either Powerpoint or Excel and need to import this into Frame for documentation purposes. On a PC version of Frame (v5.5) I've had good luck using wmf as a way to import Powerpoint and Excel data into frame documents.

The problem is that most of our Frame users are on Unix machines. Aside from the font issues that occur running cross-platform, I haven't found a way to make the PC generated frame documents with wmf graphics usable and editable on the Unix machines- the images are gray boxes and do not print out. The graphics need to be re-imported to be viewable, and the unix filters only work some of the time. Larger wmf files (from Excel) crash the filter.

Any suggestions or tips?
