I've had the exact same problem a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if (or
rather, after having a look at the jade sources I don't think that) it's
possible to do this directly without changing jade (anyone knows better?
Please tell me!). 

My solution was to write a small perl script that scans RTF files for
INCLUDEPICTURE fields and inserts the image as \fldrslt, and run this script on
jades output. Works fine for me so far, but then I've only checked that Word
'97 doesn't choke on its output. YMMV.

The script uses ImageMagick/PerlMagick for accessing and converting (if
necessary) the images, and it uses a slightly modified version of Phillippe
Verdret's perl RTF parser package. Drop me a note if you're interested.

Best regards,
