It's not in the same book. The book with the JPEG is in one directory with Template A. I have created a second directory (completely different path) for Template B. I am trying to nuke the color definitions in Template B. I do know that the only time I got error messages in Template A for color inconsistencies was >>AFTER<< imported the JPEG. before that I NEVER had a book error window opening with error inconsistency messages.

OK, so I tried saving the file as a >.mif, and opening the .mif to delete the colors, but same issue - the Delete >button is grayed out and the Ink Name is None. I am stumped. This file isn't >even in the same folder as the manual with the graphic that caused all of >this, the offending graphic isn't being imported - You're assuming that the JPEG caused the problem. It didn't. It can't. The problem comes from one of two other graphic types, either EPS, or a PNG using a color map (rather than 24-bit color). You could make it go away by replacing the EPS with a PDF, or changing the PNG to use 24-bit colors. >shouldn't I be able to >keep different color definitions for different templates? I don't think so, not in the same book. HTH! -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy at omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
