cut and paste photos

[grant walker]

hi all
I have pub 2000. When i copy a pic from photoshop or paint shop pro, then
paste it into a pub document all i get is a very long, narrow box with the
resize handles, it is blank, no pic.
I can get clip art or small size pics to show but i want to do a panarama of
high quality pics with text and headings over and around the photos. I want
to do the image and text layout in publisher because i am familiar with it
and i also own it already.

tia,
Grant.

Don't copy and paste in. Do an insert instead.

==============================
Insert / Picture / From File...may be a
better approach.

Are your image files in a compatible
format?

Here's a list of image formats that are
compatible with Pub 2000:


Windows Bitmap .bmp

CorelDRAW! .cdr

CGM graphics .cgm

Windows Enhanced Metafile .emf

Encapsulated PostScript .eps

If you have installed Microsoft Picture It!

And, it's certainly possible that some
maintenance could improve the issue:

Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)
