Hello and thank you to all for your help.

Knowing that pdf conversion will not provide images clears up one of the problems. I have been working with a .doc file from .chm, and things are getting better with the following caveats:

1) I had to leve links in or else the pictures would not show. That is strange given that the images are contained within the document, but perhaps that is the way Word references them even within a self-contained document

2) with some settings, and I haven't isolated them yet, the pictures do no appear in the text where they should, i.e., a bunch appear together before long blocks of text, and then another bunch of pictures and etc.

As far as importing from Word goes, am I better off checking the preserve formatting or to reformat completely? Does anybody have a list of settings that converts a .doc into a .lrf that includes pictures and maintains a reasonable semblance of the formatting (given, of course, that it needs to reflow the text to accomodate the smaller page sizes)?

Thanks again,

FtB
