SUMMARY
Creative Writer 2 for Windows 95 can open pictures in the following graphic formats:

Format              File Extension --              -- Bitmap               .BMP CompuServe Graphics .GIF JPEG Picture Format .JPG PC Paintbrush       .PCX Windows Metafile    .WMF

Creative Writer 2 can save pictures you create in its PaintIt! program as bitmap (.BMP) files.

INSTRUCTIONS
To open an existing picture file, do the following:


 * 1) In Creative Writer 2, click Picture Picker on the Picture menu and then click a picture.
 * 2) Click the Open button in the lower-left corner of the Picture Picker dialog box.
 * 3) Change to the drive or folder that contains your picture file, click on the file and then click OK. Your picture will now be imported into the Picture Picker under the My Clipart category.
 * 4) Click your picture in the preview window of the Picture Picker and then click OK.

To save a picture you created in PaintIt! in bitmap (.BMP) format, do the following:


 * 1) In the PaintIt! program, click Save Copy As on the File menu.
 * 2) Name the file, and select a location for saving it.
 * 3) Click Save.

After following these steps, the file is in a format that is readable by many other graphics applications. You cannot save a whole Creative Writer 2 document as a graphic file. Only a picture you create or edit in the PaintIt! program can be saved as a bitmap (.BMP) file.



MORE INFORMATION
Adding graphics filters for importing different image formats (for example, TIFF) to your computer may enable Creative Writer to import the corresponding graphics types in addition to the ones that are enabled by the filters that are installed by Creative Writer.
