Subject:Re: Grey boxes in Frame From:Melonie Holliman <mrh -at- ABMDATA -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 26 Jun 1997 09:56:10 +0000
Howdy, Yall:
I have the same problem with some of my stuff. Every time I cut
and paste graphics they turn grey. I talked with Frame tech
support and they said it was a problem with (or because) of
OLE. They said to close the document and reopen it and if the
graphics looked fine (which it did), then OLE was definately the
problem.
I lived with this for awhile, but kept running into irritations
like forgetting to open and close the document before I printed
(ending up with grey boxes everywhere). And sometimes the graphic
would just go away leaving a permanent grey box. I have finally
gotten tired of it and have decided to replace each "copied into"
graphic with a referenced graphic.
