I am not sure if >>it is the application doing the conversion but I suspect it is. >> I don't know about WFW but the April issue of Inside Msoft Windows sez that Write was just NOT designed to display or print color pictures. Therefore when you paste a color picture into a Write document, Write will change to black ANY color other than white. This makes some pictures look yuck fooey. The newsletter recommends using Paintbrush to Save As... a Monochrome bitmap. Paintbrush will change ANY DARK COLORS to black and any light colors to white. This CAN result in a more pleasant looking picture. Then they recommend calling it back up in Paintbrush copying and pasting to Write. They also go on to talk about Write's resizing of pasted pictures...but that's another story. -- Jackie Burhans (burhans@usc.edu) Data Stylist, USC Student Affairs
