SYMPTOMS
========
When you insert a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file in the FrontPage Editor,
the image may not be displayed accurately. Instead, it may be displayed as a
broken image icon and it may not be converted to a GIF or JPEG format.
CAUSE
=====
The image conversion routines in FrontPage 97 can not accurately process all
variants of the TIFF format.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, use Microsoft Image Composer to convert the TIFF file
to GIF or JPEG format and then insert the converted GIF or JPEG version of the
graphic into FrontPage.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft
FrontPage 98 for Window.
