Thank you Robert for your response. With respect to you questions: 1. I have tried import by copy and by reference, both with the same (failing) result.
2. Indeed a frame is created automatically. I hadn't known that. Doing so does not change my results. 3. I am running Windows 2000, 5.00.2195 on a VirtualBox virtual machine. 4. I am running FrameMaker 5.5.6.p145. I can reconfirm the error message occurs on importing some images, but not all. I don't understand the difference between them, and I haven't come up with a work around. Thanks.
