Re: Problems pasting TIF image into Notebook document.

Hi John

What I still don't understand is why two diagrams appear in Normal and
Notebook View but a third doesn't. I don't know what vector graphic
object is, but all three diagrams were saved as TIFF files.

Thanks

Hi John:

Vector graphics objects are only visible in Page Layout and Print Preview
views.

No graphic objects should ever appear in Outline view.

Check in Word>Preferences>View that "Drawings" is switched on.

Hope this helps

Hi Bob

Thanks to your advice I've imported images of diagrams into a
Notebook document. However, for some reason that baffles me, one of
them only appears in Page Layout View; only a paragraph mark appears
in Normal, Outline, or Notebook Views.

How can I get them to appear in these other views? (I usually work in
Normal or Page Layout).

It's possible that your scanner software includes some image editing utility
or you may have Apple's iPhoto which provides some limited editing tools.

If you don't already have software of that type you might want to look into
obtaining something like Photoshop Elements (typically selling for <$100 US)
or any number of others available at a reasonable price - even some freeware
& shareware. Take a look at VersionTracker.com for some options.

Hi John

However, I have NEVER used that function, and I can't imagine anyone else
would either. I can't imagine scanning a picture and then NOT wanting to
fix it up before putting it in my document.

But how do I fix it up before inserting as Bob suggested? Can I fix it
using Preview, which is the program that my Mac uses when I double
click on the file?

Try it this way - rather than opening in Preview.

In your Word doc go to Insert>Picture>From File. Navigate to & select the
file. See if that makes a difference. This really is the preferred method
for getting an image into a Word doc.

This worked!

BTW - You might review any printed or on-line documentation for you
scanner
& software. Scanner settings can easily determine the usability of an
image.
Also, if you use Insert>Picture you should find that you can directly
acquire an image from your scanner without creating a separate file.

When I tried this I got an error message: "Unable to connect to camera
or scanner. Check the connection and reinstall driver if necessary."

Since the scanner is working presumably does it really need its driver
reinstalled? How does Word connect to it?

Hi Bob

Many thanks. I'm not technically adept. All I can say is that I use
Microtek Scanwizard 5 V7.22.

The image was a diagram in B&W text. When I pressed SCAN TO it saved
the image as a TIFF file, at 300 dpi. The size of the file was 788KB.
Hence wasn't color mode, but I've no idea how many bits.

When I double-clicked on the file, my Mac used Preview to open it (I
don't have Photoshop) and I copied the image from there and pasted into
my Word document.

Hi john -

It could be that the TIFF is greater than 8-bit and/or CMYK color mode,
neither of which can be effectively displayed in Word.

If possible process the imasge in Photoshop (or whatever) as an 8-bit
RGB TIFF & use that. There should be no problem. Keep in mind, though,
that 220 - 300 ppi is all the resolution required, so if the image is
higher than that you might want to further process it at the same time
fro print dimensions & resolution.

Since TIFFs can still be quite large you might also consider Linking
rather than embedding the image to keep file size down. Just be sure it
is available at print time.

Hi Phil

No to both.

If I resize the picture smaller the same proportion of blank band
appears.

This is also the case if I paste into a regular Word doc (as distinct
from a Notebook doc).

The only way I can reduce the width of the band is to omit the right
hand (vertical) quarter of the image that I am copying from Preview -
and even then the black band only reduces from about a third of the
image to a sixth of the image.

Hi

When I copy a picture in TIF format into a Word Notebook document a
black vertical band obscures the right hand quarter of the picture,
even though the picture does not have this band in the Scrapbook
view.
I've tried pasting into the Normal and Page Layout views of the
Notebook document, but no improvement.


1st thought (I am sure others will be along soon with better ideas):

Is the picture stretching beyond the right hand margin (as opposed to
edge of page)? If you resize the picture smaller, does the black
band
disappear (or at least reduce)?
