RE: Pb with image quality in Frame

["Smith, Terry" <Terry.Smith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is very surprising that pasted-in graphics copied from Word would look
better than imported gifs. I always advise folks to avoid graphics that have
been pasted into Word, because it's the fastest way to ruin your graphics.
(If I'm not taking the screenshots myself, I make sure the person who is
sends me bmps, not just a Word file with pasted-in graphics.) How are you
creating the gifs? Do they look good when you open them in a drawing
program? My first thought is that the colors in the graphics are being
distorted when you convert them to gifs (which have only 256 colors).
