picture changes

[cayce]

Is there a preferred or recommended picture file type to use in Word97?

What is the preferred method for placing that picture: can you simply paste
from the clipboard, or is there an advantage to using insert> picture> from
file.

I would like to understand what Word does to an image that is just pasted
into it. Here's the scenario:

I had no original art file to draw from for a picture placed in a Word file.
So, I copied and pasted the picture from Word into the clipboard, then pasted
into Paint and Photoshop. The pasted image in both applications had strange
changes in coloration and became pixelated, making them unacceptable to use.
Does anyone know why?

See my reply to your other post - please don't post the same issue more than
once... And keep in mind that it may take *hours* for a submitted post to
appear on your system.
