ADDITIONAL NOTES

Sound File Compression

In the Full Resolution "Show" Window, the option to "Update Sound" under the File menu topic will compress/recompress the attached sound if it has been recorded and/or changed while viewing the image in that mode. The update is then permanently made to that file's entry in the Library.

Saving Permanent Changes to an Image

To save changes made to an image (i.e. Flip, Invert, etc.) into the Library, you should use "Insert as New" feature.

Microsoft Word 7.0 and Drag and Drop Placement

Prior to the release, we found that Masterclips MediaPaq Browser was experiencing a technical difficulty dragging and dropping to Microsoft Word 7.0.  If you experience any problems with the drag and drop feature, please do the following.  Select the image you would lie  and double-click on it.  Go to the Edit menu and select Copy.  Then go to the target application and select the Paste, or Paste from Clipboard feature usually found under the edit menu.  For more information, consult the manual or help system of the application which you will be pasting in to.
