As Art said, using OLE (File > Import > Object) is not a good idea. FM has a PNG filter, so it can import the file natively (File > Import > File). Is there some special reason why you're trying to import the files as objects, or is that just due to a bit of confusion? Also, you're a bit confused about FM's image handling. The "shows previews" bit applies strictly to Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files. Those files can be saved with a TIFF preview, and FM displays only that preview. Other graphics files, including PNG, don't have previews, and what you see in FM is the file. Richard Richard G.
