Grippen,
You say,
I created a new topic placed 2 pics there one already in the
project and one of the ones that was giving me problems.
What I hope you meant to say is,
-- I created a new topic.
-- In the RoboHelp command menu, I selected Insert | Image
-- I clicked the folder icon at upper right and navigated to
a directory outside the project directory.
-- I selected an image in that folder and clicked Open, then
OK..
-- RoboHelp placed the image in the topic at the cursor
location.
You might also have this experience:
-- A message appeared asking,
Overwrite "C:\[path to project directory]\imagename.gif"?
-- I clicked Yes.
If that's how you did it, here's another thoughtZ:
Some of us have had problems with image file formats other
than .jpg and .gif.
I avoid, for example, .bmp, .png, .psp, and .psd.
I've heard that .png files will work if they have been saved
as a flattened image.
Good luck,
Harvey
