I am having a very strange problem with the images and screen shots that
I have saved and embedded into my Word Document. I captured the screens
using SNAPSHOT and converted them to gif using ADOBE'S PHOTOSHOP.
Finally I used the INSERT/PICTURE/FROM FILE option provided with Word.
The screens have huge red cross marks all across them. The running text
is intact. Only the pictures seem to go awry and have these strange red
cross marks. Any ideas. I am at my wits end. Is it because Word cannot
handle a huge file size?
This is what is seen...............
