Anyone,
I did -up a paper on Planetary Ratios for Paul's records, but he can't
handle doc files.
Any suggestions on getting the best results - I tried putting it in Paint
and then Gif, but as the drawings were already Gif's,
(Gif of a Gif) it doesn't look too good.

Several options here:
1. Save the .doc file (Word) as an .rtf, which will handle most simple
graphics and may be easier to pass through.

2. Save the .doc file as a .html file, which displays OK on most browsers.

3. Save the file as .pdf (requires the Acrobat Word plug-in) or Acrobat
distiller.

4. Might try an uncompressed .tif for clarity.  JPEGs most likely won't
help much.

5. Screen-cap the document pages with the "print screen" command, which
saves it into clipboard.  Paste this into any graphics program that can
handle clipboard imports (photoshop, etc.), crop, and then save as a .tif
or .jpg.

rtf is out. pdf is ok as I can capture any part and convert to jpg.
