Graphics don't show up in MS Word Documents When I Send as Attachements to PC users

[Sean M.]

I was hoping one of you could help. When I paste logos or other
graphics into Microsoft Word documents that I send as attachments they
don't show up when opened by PC users. Because I often send proposals
and other documents for business that need these logos in them this
makes me/us look unprofessional.

I am currently using Entourage X for Mac version 10.1.4 and Microsoft
Word X for Mac, Service Release 1.

I have Entourage set to "Encode for Windows (Base64/MIME); no
compression"

If you could offer some advice or a solution I'd be very greatful.
Thanks!

You're sending the attachment as a Word .doc (*not* converting to html to
put in the body of the Entourage message)?

How are you inserting the graphic into the Word doc? Is it embedded or
simply linked? What type of graphic?

Have the Windows users reported what they see instead?

I had the same thing happen to me this week.

Office 2004 on OS X 10.3.6

It was an image dragged from a webpage into Word. Even checked
compatibility report!
On the PC, it showed a placeholder with an icon in the middle.

It is quite likely that the image was a .PNG file - certainly versions of
word earlier than 2003 couldn't handle that, not sure about the current
windows version (the mac has been able to do PNG for a long time now ).
