When inserting a drawing object, and adding color to it, the color does not show up on the computer screen. The formatting is there because it prints ok, but the color does not appear on the screen. When inserting a clipart object with color, it shows up fine. Is this a .dot template problem?

taking a wild guess, is the problem file a tif? i think the display vs print info is encoded and you might not have the display component...

Color shows up on the screen with all other programs, and also when inserting clipart into a Word document, but not when formatting drawing objects within Word. The same problem exists with WordPad. Excel, Powerpoint and all other programs work fine. Seems to be a problem in the Word object drawing driver, but I don't know how to access that for formatting.
