Jpeg's appearing as black boxes...

[Britamy]

Version: 2008 I am new to using Word for Mac - having recently transferred from a PC. I am finding that some (not all) some documents are displaying the jpeg's on them as black boxes. Instead of the image the entire are is just black and prints this way also. The image displays correctly in the finder, but once the document is full size, the image is a black box.
Help please! How do I get my images back?

Thanks

Amber

Hi Britamy:

Chances are they are CMYK JPEGs. Word (or any other Microsoft Office
application) can't handle CMYK yet.

Re-save those pictures as 24-bit (RGB...) format, and all should be well.

Cheers

Thanks John, I will try that. I'll re-post if that doesn't fix the problem - but I suspect that you are right .
