Problems with a picture in the header

[carol]

Hi
I have a set of word documents containing a logo in the
header. I wanted to replace the logo, and I did it by
pasting the new one in all documents. It was a coloured
picture.Later the logo was again modified and I decided
now not to have the color also. So i formatted the
picture to gray scale, and again pasted it in all
documents. To my extreme surprise, now I can see that in
some of the documents, the picture still appears with
color, though I have pasted a grayscale one. It is the
latest modified one which I want, but the color remains.
I tried to again make it grayscale in each document and
saved it. But again when I open it, it appears with color.
I wonder why this happens. Also would like to point out
that the logo is inserted into a table in the header,
wondering whether it has something to do with table
properties.Please help me out.
Many many thanks in advance.

How did you convert it to grayscale? Did you actually resave it in a
graphics editing app, or did you just set it to Grayscale using Word's Color
control? The latter merely changes the display; it doesn't actually change
the image. Pasting the image might cause it to lose this display setting.
Moreover, some printers ignore modifications made with the Picture toolbar
controls (such as cropping).

I changed the picture into grayscale by right clicking
and using the 'Format Picture' option.OK. if it is the
problem of pasting, than what is happening even if I
change it to grayscale on every document. I tried that as
well.
Thanks very much

Beats me. Maybe Bob Buckland will have some clues.

Hi Carol,

What version of Word and if 2002 or 2003 is the
Table=>Table Properties showing wrap around or
no wrapping layout for the table?

It may be the repetitive pasting that's giving an
unexpected behavior here, possibly a bit of corruption
in the document.

If you follow your usual procedure and when pasting
choose Edit=>Paste Special what is the file format for
pasting that Word preselects?

If the graphic is formatted as an 'in line with text'
layout and you use Alt+F9 do you still see the graphic
or a do you see a Word {field code} ?


You may want to try a separate graphics program such
as http://www.irfanview.com (donation ware) and use
the greyscale setting there to switch your logo then
use Word's Insert=>Picture from File to place the logo
and let us know if if you get the same result, trying
in both a new document and in a current one.
