I haven't a clue about your MIF washing process, but why in the world
would you use OLE, with all its overhead and potential problems, to
import JPEG graphics, for which FM has a filter? Use File > Import >

For that matter, don't use JPEG for screen shots (I'm guessing from the
SnagIt reference that that's what you're dealing with) -- it's a lossy
format best suited to continuous-tone images like photos and poorly
suited to reproducing sharp edges and text. Better choices are PNG, GIF,
and TIF. FM can import all three file types -- no OLE, please! :-) 

HTH!
