= SYMPTOMS =

When you access a topic in Encarta that has a compound picture, you are only able to copy or print the small picture in the lower-left corner that represents a small section of the larger compound picture.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you access a topic in Encarta that contains a compound picture, when you choose the button directly below the small picture, the full-screen compound picture displays. The Copy and Print buttons are unavailable (dimmed). If you choose the button below any of the individual pictures of the compound picture, the individual picture displays as a full-screen picture; however, the Copy and Print buttons are again unavailable.

Only the compound picture on the main screen can be copied or printed.

Two examples of compound pictures are “Airplanes” and the “Working and Herding Dogs” topic under “Dog, domestic.”

NOTE: The problem of printing compound pictures does not occur in Encarta, 1994 edition.
