You could paste the image into something like WinGIF, save as a BMP, and then reload and paste that to force the format. I've had a related problem, where I pasted what had been a BMP from the clipboard into WfW for a hlp file. All compiled well, but when you brought up the file in winhelp, the graphic did not appear (just the blank space, and sometimes not that). Rather than wrestle uselessly with that, I saved the image out as a bmp and used the field that inserts the file as a character in the text. THAT worked. -- Barry Press Internet: press@venice.sedd.trw.com
