word.doc pictures
I use Windows98 but don't have `MS Word`. So to view pictures sent to me
in the `.doc` format I've used `wordviewer97` which has been made available by Microsoft for just this purpose. However, my pictures are not opening properly anymore, they are in the colors of blue and red only. Thinking my viewer was broken I redownloaded the 97 viewer but with no change to the results. I then deleted my 97 viewer and downloaded the `wordviewer 2003`. This gave me the message, "requires a newer version of windows". Is this an example of Microsoft trying to force people to upgrade from Win98 to XP? They might find instead that people will `upgrade` to an open source OS instead. |

No, it is an example of a person downloading a program that requires W2K SP3
or XP and trying to run it on W98. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP Windows 98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "bling" wrote in message ...

O.K. Ron :-)
Any idea what the problem might be then? "Ron Badour" wrote in message ...

The problem is that you shouldn't be using WORD to send and view pictures.
Get the person who sends you the pictures to send them in a proper image format, such as JPG. Then you have a vast range of good viewers available to you, many of them free, such as - www.irfanview.com -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "bling" wrote in message ... O.K.

More and more people seem to be using the `.doc` format for pictures, like
the pdf format seems to be coming more and more popular. It's no good saying to people "don't use it". As usual, my question *hasn't* been answered. So I suppose I have to say thanks for nothing :-) "Jeff Richards" wrote in message ... The problem is that you shouldn't be using WORD to send and view pictures.

You might get a better answer on a newsgroup that supports Word.

Found the problem. Changed my 32 bit colors to 16. Can see the pictures
now. Must have happened when I upgraded to a 17" screen. "PattyL" wrote in message ... You might get a better answer on a newsgroup that supports Word. "bling" wrote in message ...

Uh? So you choose to use an application for a purpose for which it is
particularly inappropriate, then you complain that Microsoft is trying to force you to upgrade. Sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "bling" wrote in message ...

I agree with the .JPG reply.
It is a standard format for pictures and I dont hear anything about it being made redundant to the likes of .doc or .pdf. kiss; keep it simple and remind the sender that .jpg is still the best way for now. ...Rex..
