I'm running Word for Windows 1.0 on Windows 3.0. I'm having problems importing graphics. Everytime I import a TIF file, I get a field statement, not a display. There's no way to format the picture. If I select "New Picture", I get a blank frame, which I can format, but can't put a picture into. Any hints?

Never mind. I figured it out. As long as the "show all" button was activated (the asterisk on the ribbon), no graphics would be displayed. Learning was never so much fun. I think I'm getting the hang of this word processor. But I need more power. If I dropped in a 427 with dual quad carbs, headers, and even a blower. No... wait. That was high school. Now it's computers. Oh well.

If you mean that you get something that looks like: {IMPORT C:\\PICTURES\\SAILBOAT.GIF\} then you simply need to toggle the view field codes option, also you want draft view off, page view off, and show all (which is the * button in the ribbon) off. Have you tried printing the file as it is, after you import the graphic? If the name of the file you were trying to import is not in the field, then you have some other problem.... preston@lll-crg.llnl.gov B4 f+ t- k+ s-/+ r P8/3 S6 b+/- g- l-/+ y- z/! n o+/++ x a+ u v-- j++ D.
