I'm curious whether you also experience a dramatic loss in image quality if you cut-and-paste images from an Office document into FrameMaker (indeed, into any non-Office application). For me the images are automatically converted to Windows Metafiles and the quality goes down the tubes. I've never found a straightforward way around this problem.

Consequently, one of my "Techwriting Truths" has become that there's no way to extract an embedded image from an Office document (*especially* Word) without effectively destroying the images usability. I can't honestly tell if the issue is Office-specific .wmf formatting or what. If someone knows a straightforward way to extract embedded images from Word, I'd love to learn the trick.
