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.
We've been requesting such features for the Office applications for
years. I believe the best you'll find with Word is Microsoft's version
of "don't ask, don't tell" where images are displayed assuming that
they are sRGB.
