Re: Word import --bmp screen shots

[Bart Windrum <bart.windrum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, the best bet is to obtain the original .bmps and import them into
the Frame file. If they're not available you might try scrennsnapping them
from the Word file and using those as source, but this'd be dependent upon
how good/bad they look in the Word file.
