Hi Andrea,
I neglected to mention in a previous post that this same "jaggy graphic"
result sometimes appears onscreen even if you *don't* resize the graphic --
*if* you're using Segmented HyperGraphics (SHG) files in your Help file --
that is, graphics with pop-ups.
This is (I think) because WinHelp displays the graphic in different
resolutions depending on the setup of the computer it's running on.
There's a great little utility called SHGREZ.EXE that solves this problem
by fixing the SHG file's resolution. I can send it to you if you want. :-)
