inserted jpg images go 'pink'

[David Brisco]

Hi Experts,
I'm using Word 2000. I am inserting many different jpg images into a
large document. While most of the images insert and look fine, a number
appear overexposed and extremely pink/purple in colour. This is not related
to the size of the image directly. Original images are 1600x1200. They
insert fine. If I reduce original to 800x600 to reduce the document size,
sometimes the picture comes out funny (pink). If I crop a picture (in
photoshop) and end up with an image that is not one of the two previous
standard sizes (i.e. 753x431) then the images always appears 'pink'. Has
anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

thanks

PS - I use either photoshop 5.5 or irfanview to resize the images. The
'pinkness' does not appear related to one of these products. Also, all the
images appear fine in other viewers and in the Word preview pane, regardless
of resolution.

I should add that the images do appear to print properly. It is only on the
screen that a number of the images have this overexposed pink
characteristic. They almost appear like negatives of the pictures.
