I've had the same trouble. It appears that whatever you do with MS it will automatically turn your jpegs into gifs. If you can fish around and take a look at your extension files after you work the MS prog., it's a safe bet that the prog. itself has done this. I still can't figure out why MS does this, just that it does.
