[softwarelist] Importing TIFFs into OPW

I've encountered two problems with TIFF images imported into OPW ...

TIFFs created in Adobe Photoshop CS2 and saved with LZW compression, when dropped into a OPW picture frame, result in two warning messages. The first is "unknown field with tag 700 (0x2bc) ignored". Clicking OK brings up a second message: "unknown field with tag 34665 (0x8769) ignored". This is a minor irritation ... until you try to reference pictures, and then whenever the screen redraws a page containing a picture frame, the warning messages appear once more. If you happen to have several picture frames on a page, then the warning messages appear for EACH picture frame.

The second problem is do do with memory. I have an OPW document with about 20 TIFF pictures. Current file size is around 300 Mb. I want to add 3 more pictures, but can't because of "not enough memory". Is there a way of increasing the memory directly available to OPW? Referencing the pictures doesn't help, not least because of the warning messages already referred to.
