Publisher scrambling transparent in output!

F

Frank

I'm baffled by Publisher's sudden propensity to badly mangle transparent
elements of a layout on the way to print (in files I've used before). Now
transparent GIF images that looked fine in the last round of publication are
pixellated to illegibility.

I can fix in most cases by rendering an opaque version of the image, but
there's value to me in placing partially opaque logos on gradient-coloured or
image backgrounds, and there are hours worth of image replacements to do in
dozens of files, just to do WHAT WORKED LAST YEAR!

Can someone tell me there's an easier way?
Did I somehow turn off something critical?
Thx en avance,
F/C

I seem to remember that Publisher treats GIF files rather oddly,
although I thought that was only in connection with the transparency
wand in Publisher.

What version of Publisher are you using?

Have you tried transparent PNGs instead?
