ANYWAYS, I BELIEVE THAT THEY TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A IMAGES GENERATED BY SUPERPAINT. IF YOU REMEMBER THE COMPATIBILITY CHECKER THAT APPLE PUT OUT A YEAR AGO, IT LISTED SUPERPAINT AS MOSTLY COMPATIBLE. YOU JUST FOUBD OUT WHY ITS NOT FULLY COMPATIBLE. I BELIEVE THAT THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS TO IMPORT THE PICTURES INTO MACDRAW. THATS A LOT MORE SYSTEM 7 FRIENDLY. TAKE THEM INTO MACDRAW AND FROM THERE TAKE THEM BACK INTO WORD. THAT SHOULD CLEAR YOUR PROBLEM. NOW, CHANCES ARE YOU DONT HAVE MACDRAW... I DON'T KNOW AY OTHER WOR AROUNDS. MAYVE SOMEONE ELSE HAS A SOLUTION...
