My colleague was trying to insert the jpeg image into a MS Publisher document, having saved the image etc. The image was not 'accepted' by MS Publisher, whereas when I ran a test to insert the same emailed image into an OpenOffice document it worked fine! So I was mistaken to say that the image was corrupted - I'll just have to pass the image to my colleague by means other than email. Andy
