SYMPTOMS
========

When you are using Visio version 3.0, white horizontal lines appear on inserted
color pictures. The white lines also appear on the images when printed.

CAUSE
=====

This problem is caused by the way Image Stream version 1.9.11, the graphics
filter included with Visio 3.0, converts images for displaying on the screen.
The lines appear only on those images that are converted--bitmap (.BMP) and
Windows metafile (.WMF) images display and print correctly.

WORKAROUND
==========

Using a graphics utility other than Visio, convert the image from its original
format to bitmap (.BMP) or Windows metafile (.WMF) format. Then insert the
bitmap image into Visio.
