Sammo,
PSP doesn't give me a choice...

When I create a new drawing....
132x68
-vector-

I paste my image (from a transparent background gif) into it.

when I save as .wmf
PSP(v8) says it must flatten it and retain bmp information..everytime! I don't have any other choice.

You follow up advise would be appreciated....

thanks Sammo for your reply.
