PICT images can be stored in many types of Macintosh documents, 
such as word-processing files. However, you can open only PICT files in Picture Compressor.

To use a picture from a non-PICT document, copy the picture into a new Picture Compressor file. 

Pictures in some programs can’t be copied in PICT format. To use such a picture, see the topic “Converting an Image to PICT Format.”
