Framemaker 3.0.

For overheads the boss prefers light text on a dark background.

Easy.  Go to master page.  Draw a large box, fill it with dark grey.

Now import or paste any graphical item into the document, and it's frame
is filled with white, overriding the background color.  I've tried this
with Adobe Illustrator, Diagram, Mathematica,  plain tiffs. No joy.

Is there anyway to tell FrameMaker to not paint the new frame with opaque
white when importing a graphic?
