Hi all,
Having a problem with Word2002, seemingly only on WinXP machines, Win2k
machines don't seem to have the problem. The problem happens when inserting
..tif files that were created in Photoshop 7 on 2 different Macs, a G4 & G5,
both running OS X. The inserted .tifs appear blank. You can select them, but
they're not visible in any view, nor do they print or preview.
I do NOT have "Picture Placeholders" selected in Tools, Options, View, Show.
I DO have a check next to "Drawings" in Print & Web Layout Options. I also
DO have "Drawings" selected in Include With Document in Tools, Options,
Print. I have experimented with changing the picture editor, Tools, Options,
Edit, from Word to Photo Editor. This seems to have some effect, but not
consistent. Also, exiting word & then relaunching it seems to resolve it,
sometimes.
Also, this is not all .tifs. Some .tifs that were created on an older Mac
using an earlier version of Photoshop will work. Some of the .tifs have 300
dpi resolution, some have 150 dpi. They are of varying sizes. From what the
author tells me, none of them are multi-frame .tifs. There seems to be no
correlation between the resolution or size causing the problem. I can insert
other graphic file types created by the newer Macs without a problem, it
only seems to be the newer .tifs.
I've seen the article at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329985&Product=wd2002
but I don't think that's the issue, again, the .tifs don't have multiple
frames.
Anyone got any ideas? I've tried to paint as complete a picture as I can of
the problem, hope I didn't confuse the issue..
TIA,
Tim W
