Why are you using BMPs John? I work in both FM and Word and never use BMPs for anything. BMP graphics are very large and unnecesarily bloat up the Word doc. And from what I've seen, they don't give me any better pictures than JPGs, or for that matter, GIFs. when embedded in Word. Diane Gaskill

The one change I dislike (read: that drove me insane) in FM 7.2 is the way it handles PgUp/PgDown keypresses. In previous versions, using these would take you to the next/prev page; in FM 7.2, you're taken to the next/prev screen instead. To change this, I added two lines to my customui.cfg:

Color list? You mean like FM's defined colors? I don't think so. We're talking digital photographs here, with millions of colors. The 8-bit limitation is just the bit depth of the file. FM doesn't do anything at all with the colors of graphics and the colors it defines it's a graphic file
