15.7.8 Embedding graphics in converted
RTF files
If your conversion project is set up so that DITA2Go
inserts field references to graphics instead of the graphics themselves
(because they are not in WMF or BMP format, for example), you might want
to do the following:
- Open the .rtf file in Word. When
you do so, Word imports all the graphics named in the fields, if possible.
- Save the file as .doc. The .doc file includes the graphics,
and you do not need to provide the graphics files themselves along with
the Word file.
If you provide only the .rtf file, you have to provide
any graphics files also. To find out if the .rtf file contains graphics,
check the size: files containing graphics are much larger than files
that only reference graphics.
