In case anyone's interested, I've got a sort of an answer. These .wmz = =66iles (.wmz vector graphics, not .wmz Windows Media Player skin) are = rather puzzling things, but I've come up with this: 1. The original problem was to extract vector graphics images from a = Word file. I saved the Word doc as HTML in the time-honoured way and go= t= .wmz files. BUT when I finally tried the obvious: copy-and-paste = straight from Word into vector graphics software (Illustrator) it worke= d= and I got a file I can work with. 2. But if you do happen to have a .wmz file, how can you handle it=3F = There's only one software in the known universe that can handle .wmz: = Word. So create a Word doc, insert picture, then copy-and-paste into = vector graphics software. My thanks to the Adobe guru with whom I threw this problem around, = without whose help this solution probably wouldn't have occurred to me,= = even if it obvious now I think about it.
