I am looking for a method of importing gray-scale scans into MicroSoft Word 5.5 for a mailmerge project. The scanner software I am using has the ability to produce either TIFF or PCX images. Unfortunately, MS Word 5.5 only seems to be able to import HPGL and PostScript images (and only line art at that). Does anyone know if MS Word 5.5 supports gray scale images, and if so, how? Thanks in advance... -J. -- John P. Silva "I drank WHAT?!" Inova Products, Inc. Internet: jsilva@cogsci.berkeley.edu (415)222-9255 Usenet: ucbvax!cogsci!jsilva

On pages 386 to 388 of the Word5.5 manual it lists the file types for importing and some of the software that produces such images. B&W and greyscale TIFF are listed as well as PCX. To see how it is actually done, look in chapter 20 of the manual. It's a simple matter of following the prompts. --Allan
