Whoops that paragraph above should read 'put the two column sheet
through the PRINTER twice'.   Although given that todays printers are
probably have more memory than the PCs of 15 years ago maybe my
mistake wasn't too inaccurate!

Right, I have resorted to 'cheating'.  I have managed to import my
*.gif image using Office 97 as Clipart and pasted them into my label
design as Clipart.  That gets around my problem, although if anyone
can answer my original question and perhaps explain why Clipart does
not behave the same as other picture file formats, I am most
interested in the answer! SNOOPY
