Thanks Shlomo -- you are right on the money (as usual).
The saving as MIF is something that would never have occurred to me,
despite using that method for many other Frame ills over the last 14
years with Frame.
Thx again

I vaguely remember reading that this colour blow-out applies only when
one
particular Windows Colour Quality setting is used.
Can anyone please remind me which one?
The PNGs have to be non-indexed (24-bit color instead of 8-bit color).
He will also need some plugin (or a FrameScript) that he can wipe over
>10,000
pages to rid them of the extra colours.
Saving as MIF will clear all of the "RGB nnn,nnn,nnn" colors.
If many FM files are involved, visit http://www.microtype.com/Links.html
for information on utilities which save all files in a book as MIF.
