- Well, you're stuck with doing the import at least once, since you have to
- get the actual code for the graphic into he document. All you have now is
- a pointer to the XWD file. Anyway, simply select the existing graphic,
- select Properties from the Graphics menu and jot down everything you see
- (including resolution etc.). Then select the graphic and import over top
- of it, changing to "Copy into document". If this clobbers the Properties,
- go back to Properties and reset them as required.
