GraphicWriter III

To Don Pattee:
    
    
Don,
    
    Thanks for picking up on my request for help with
GrpahicWriter III.  I am apt to have more questions as
time goes on and I get further into it, but for now I will
stick to just one topic: Importing black and white Print
Shop GS graphics.  
    
    First, let me say that I am using the older version of
Graphic Writer III, and not the newly released version. 
Indeed, one of the reasons for my interest is to try to
decide if I will use this thing enough to justify the cost of
the recent upgrade.
    
    Whenever I import a BW PSGS graphic, it enters the graphic
box on my page in yellow.  Yes, you read it right--- yellow,
not black.  
    
    Worse, If I have already imported a Color PSGS graphic
onto my page, I get BOTH the last Color PSGS graphic, AND the
BW PSGS graphic (in yellow) superimposed on one another. 
That is to say, I get junk.
    
    Color PSGS graphics import just fine, as do Black SHR (or
was it a DHR?) graphics.  Only the BW PSGS graphics give me
fits. 
    
    To date, the only way out is to enter Print Shop GS, go
the the editor, change at least one pixel to a different
color (for example, one black to purple) and then save as a
color PSGS graphic.  Then, as a color graphic, it will import
just fine.  That, of course is a real drag.  If that is the
best that it can do, I may as well stick with Publish.It4.
    
    So, what do you think?  Am I doing something wrong, is my
software corrupted, or is that just the way this program
works?  If that is just the way it is, then I am really
anxious to know if the newly released upgrade works better
with BW PSGS graphics.
    
                             Thanks,
    
                             Steve
