I am having problems importing PIC files into wordperfect 5.1 from quattro pro. Specifically a PIC file of a graph when imported has the following fault the X axis and Y axis are missing as is the box around the key. The fault does not occur with EPS files, if the PIC file is read into VP graphics all the axes etc are there. 1) Can anyone verify this? 2) Can anyone suggest a solution to these problems? Best wishes from downunder or up over or whatever, SID. ------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sid | DSIR DECNet : TREV::SRPDSDJ | Internet : IN%"srpdsdj@pmv.dsir.govt.nz" -------------------------------------------------------------------

In Quattro Pro, the graphical defaults are to draw bright white lines (grid color) on a grey (fill color) background - in effect white on white. When this files are imported into WP, white on white is printed. There are two ways to change this. 1. In WP edit the contents of the graphics box and turn invert on (#4) before printing. 2. In Quattro Pro, change the characteristics of your graphs so that you are not printing white on white. To do this select Graph/Overall/Grid/Grid Color and change it to something other than bright white. You can make this a permanent change by putting these changes in the autoload file eg. QUATTRO.WQ1 or whatever you choose to call it. We use the second option and place the autoload file in the directory where the graphs are being exported from.
