Cannot place .Tiff file -- Help!

[BChellberg]

I have WinXP Home, and Pagemaker 6.5. I have created a document in PM65 and when I try to place a TIF image into it I get an error message -- "Cannot Open File -- unsupported BitPerSample". What does this mean? Is there a way around it?
Thanks,
Bill

I answered you in thread227-874531

Also, you need to read this:

Adobe's Support Policy for PageMaker 6.5 and 7.x in Windows XP
Adobe PageMaker 7.x was tested in Windows XP, as well as Windows 2000, NT with Service Pack 5 or 6, ME, and 98. Adobe Technical Support fully supports and researches issues that arise when PageMaker 7.x is used in these Windows operating systems.
PageMaker 6.5x, however, may not meet your expectations in Windows XP, since it was released prior to Windows XP and was not developed for this operating system. Adobe Technical Support provides assistance with using PageMaker 6.5x features in Windows XP and with troubleshooting issues that also occur in Windows 2000, NT with Service Pack 5 or 6, Me, 98, or 95.

Thanks, BigJohnD.

I suspected that what you said about PM6.5 was the case, so I have plans to get PM7.0. I am in hope that that will do the trick. Thanks for your help.

BigJohnD,
Sorry to bother you with this, but I am new to these forums. How do I get to the Thread #227-874531?
A little off the subject, I know.
Thanks,
Bill
