TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
When the graphics are in Word they may have been resized, so copying
them into PaintShop Pro might not always be helpful.
My recomendation is to save the Word file as html (using Save As).
The graphics are then extracted from the Word file as separate graphic files.
You generally get 2 files for each one, possibly a png and a jpeg (I
find the png is often of a better quality).
I then import them by reference into FrameMaker and get good results.
