SYMPTOMS
After you insert a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) picture in a Word document, the picture may not be displayed as expected.

For example, an inserted TIFF picture may display two-thirds of the picture correctly, but the remaining one-third of the picture may be garbled. The exact symptoms you may experience may be different.



CAUSE
This problem can occur when the TIFF picture was created with greater than 8 bits per pixel.
