David,
See my message entitled "Word and BMPS". I am having the same problem with Word and the VFP report writer. I would appreciate if you could let me know of any solutions you find and I will do the same.

>>I have a report with a number of small bmps designed to print under certain circumstances. When I developed the report, they printed perfectly, but after a time (a few months in this case) they stopped printing, or at least began to print intermittently.
>>
>>They were 12x12 2 color bitmaps, and changing them to 32x32 doesn't seem to change anything. They show up and some print in part, but others don't. I have checked all the different settings for images and they don't seem to make any difference.
>>
>>Do I need to have 16 color or 256 color bitmaps even though I am only using b&w? Any suggestions would be appreciated?

>I have now tried my bmps at 256 color and set them to print in every occurence of the 'body' band. Even stranger, The first occurrence prints the bmp perfectly, then theres about 10 rows where it doesn't print, then over the next 5 rows it prints part of the bitmap, from about 20% to 40%, 60% 80% and then the whole bitmap. Then the process appears to repeat, but the page finishes before they would start printing again.
