This once AND JUST THIS ONCE ONLY, right-click the picture in Publisher,
click Save As Picture.

In *ALL* future instances, *DO NOT SCAN DIRECTLY INTO PUBLISHER*. Scan into
a graphics application, such as Microsoft Digital Image Pro, Microsoft
PictureIt!, Microsoft Imaging for Windows, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop
Elements, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photodeluxe, etc.. If you don't have a
real graphics utility, get yourself IrfanView. A very compact download from
http://www.irfanview.com/ - and it can view all image types known to man,
and convert between them, as well as being able to scan. If youw ant a
freeware image manipulation tool, try the GIMP -
