Ver. 5.5 imported graphics embedded into
Microsoft Word files. While I failed to

Blueberry Software: Filtrix
The Filtrix conversion package from Blueberry Software

FrameMaker, Word, WordPerfect, Interleaf, and
Applixware, as well as formatted text for 17 other for-mats.
<<<<<<<<<<<<< HERE IT IS !!!! >>>>>>>>>>>
The Word-to-FrameMaker conversions retain
WMF and BMP graphics, tables, accented characters,
autonumbers, footnotes, and styles, in addition to font,
paragraph, and page formatting.

Caveat: Refer to CROSS-PLATFORM FILTERS
SUPPORTED BY FRAMEMAKER 5.5 (p. 17).
