I think WfW is pretty good with graphics importing.  All you need is
the right graphics filter (several come with WfW, and I don't suppose
they're that hard to write).  And you can stretch, crop, etc, the
imported graphic.

Incidentally, WfW also has an EQN-like feature called "equation
fields".  Don't know how it compares with the WP equivalent.

The *big* trick is figuring out which file formats WfW and your other
application have in common.  This usually requires a lot of trial and
error (for example, WfW knows about 1 of the 3 AutoCAD ADI formats,
but nowhere does it say which of the three [binary]), complicated by
the fact that the only way to specify a filter is to change the
graphic file name.
