I've had this happen before. Somehow your graphic has become corrupted when
placed in the doc. Delete the graphic and reinsert. Count yourself lucky
there is ony one graphic so you don't have to search for the culprit.
Also check that your graphic is in the proper format. If it is bitmapped,
it could be the problem.
Cheerios,
Henry
