Behavior of MS Word
My preliminary tests with RGB images and MS Word is that it appears
that MS Word is using the profile embedded in the image to convert
colors when I import them. So far so good

I was surprised too. But MS Word is doing a color conversion.
in my test I converted 4 copies of "photodisctarget" test image file
into
sRGB, AdobeRGB (1998), ProPhotoRGB and Apple RGB with embedded
profiles using photoshop. Importing these 4 RGB files into MS Word
results in 4 identical looking images inside MS Word. The four images
printed from MS Word look indistinguishable from each other when
printed on our color manged printer.
If that were the case, the question would be: "Convert from the
image's
embedded profile to what OTHER profile?",
That was my conclusion too.
so what Destination space _is_ MS Word Using?
