Hi Peter I don't know how you got on but I've just come across a similar now-show situation and am wondering if this might help. Since a straight Copy and Paste often restricts what you can do afterwards to an illustration within Word, I always save pix etc from a website first and then Insert them. I have just tried this with a gif file and with the same saved as a BMP and neither worked, NOR was visible in/acceptable to PhotoEditor either! JPEGs are never a problem. It crossed my minds that it may simply be that your installation of Word currently does not support the file format that you are using? -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter A.

I use Image Composer myself but Photo Shop or whatever you would normally use to create or manipulate graphics. Ensure it is the size and shape you want it so you don't have to manipulate it within Word. Then re-insert into the template or document. The only reason I suggest this approach is because Word is not always good at handling images, especially if you have to re-size or crop them. I've had similar issues, even when I took a document (via our network) from my system to another system of the same configuration (Office 2003). Here's an article I read on the subject: http://wordtips.vitalnews.com/Pages/T1220_Resize_Graphics_Outside_of_Wor d.html Another problem can be with printers, especially postscript. Word automatically configures itself to the default printer. Before launching the document with the graphic in it set up a generic default printer to see if that helps. I've also had to convert graphics from .jpg to .tif which sometimes works, sometimes not. Can you link to the graphic instead of imbed it? That can make a difference as well, particularly if the graphic is big. -----Original Message----- From: Peter A.

It's a watermark in the background. It's a company logo. But only the test shows up and not the triangle and line that goes with the text. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
