Picture inserted to MS Word Doc

[michael0224]

Hello. I would like to know why when I inserted a picture in to my doc, the printout of that picture along with the document will be shaded especially those "white" areas? The first time I printed is fine. But if I saved it, the next time I print it, all white areas will be lightly shaded.

The picture is exported to a jpeg file from Corel 10 in 300dpi. The printer is also set as 300dpi.

Does MS word (I am using office 2003) have better compatablily with other formats? Or is there a way to stop it from shading it?

Thanks.

Michael.

Jpegs should be fine in a word doc. Go to view, toolbars and click on picture. Then on the toolbar click on set transparent color. It looks like an arrow pointing diagonally down. Then click the background are that you want to be transparent. HTH.

It's probably not a file compatibility issue, it's probably the picture. Just because it looks white in Word doesn't mean that it is actually white. It may be a very light gray that is hard to see on the screen but which the printer tries to reproduce.

Are you telling word not to compress the pictures? Have you tried setting it to leave your image compression unchanged?

Thanks for the advices. I looked at the compression section and changed resolution to "no change" and "no compression", "apply to all picture" and clicked ok. But the next time I visit this section, everything is changed back to "print resolution" and "compress pictures" ON.

Is this normal?
