TITLE   : Fax Annotation FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions about Fax Annotation)
PRODUCT : Procomm Plus 4.x, 3.x
==============================================================================

Q: Does saving an annotated fax by importing images result in larger files
   requiring large amounts of disk space?
A: Yes.  For example, a received fax that has been annotated by importing one
   bitmap and merging, may force a 35K file to grow to 78K.  Both this file
   and the original will be on your hard drive totaling 113K.  To save hard
   drive space, periodically clean up the fax subdirectory by removing
   outdated or unneeded fax files.

Q: Why does an imported image appear distorted?
A: A graphic image only displays in the number of colors supported by a video
   system.  For example, standard VGA is limited to 16 colors.  If using this
   driver, displaying an image saved in a 256 colors (8-bit) format may result
   in a distorted image.  Upgrade the video driver in order to display 256
   colors.

Q: Why is a fax image received in only black and white, when the original fax
   contains colors?
A: Group 3 faxing only supports black and white.

Q: Why am I unable to import an image in the form of a TIFF file?
A: Procomm Plus converts the TIFF file format by using a conversion
   program.

NOTE: There are several standalone programs for converting graphic formats.
HiJack supports most formats and converts several vector formats to bitmaps.
ImagePals (from U-Lead systems) converts between bitmap formats including BMP,
EPS, JPG, PCX, TGA and TIFF.  Windows Paintbrush will load a file in either
BMP or PCX and save it in either format.
