Since we "upgraded" at work the latest version of Office does a ruddy awful job at previewing jpegs. I suspect it is a crappy resampling regime rather than an inherent loss of quality. Jerry Are the images that appear crappy in PowerPoint being displayed at anything other than their native pixel resolution? [hope I don't have to explain that]. If so I suspect it's M$'s resampling rather than the images themselves. If you want to avoid "generational losses" (inherent in saving and resaving jpegs) the most appropriate format in a Microshaft environment is *.BMP which for some reason M$ supports fully .... Bob
