Peter,
I have strong doubts that MS Word does any such thing as "convert RGB images
using their embedded profile".
If that were the case, the question would be: "Convert from the image's
embedded profile to what OTHER profile?", since a color conversion always
requires a source and a destination.
On the other hand, you may have meant that MS Word ASSIGNS the embedded
profile to the image. Even that is highly doubtful.
Simply put, Word has no built-in ICC color management savvy whatsoever that
I'm aware of. So, neither of the two above scenarios sounds plausible to me.
