RE:        Converting BMP or PCX to TIFF


Hello All,

I would like to incorporate graphics that have been made/edited with
Windows PAINTBRUSH into documents created with WINWORD.

There doesn't seem to be a method to do this supplied with the
stock standard Windows 3.0 and Winword 1.1

Are there any converter utilities out there that can help.

Thankyou for your help.

Why not?

- load the graphic into Paintbrush
- select the pick tool
- mark the area of the graphic you want to use in your winword
document
- Edit Copy...
- go into WinWord
- Do Edit Paste...

works for me. It it the standard Windows way for cutting and pasting
between applications.
