The cloudy artifacts that JPG puts around text may not be noticeable
if you save the JPG at highest quality, but the more compression you
use, the more annoyingly obvious it becomes. I believe the original
poster in this thread said that the document was intended for the
Web, and since it is typical to compress to high levels to create
smaller files for Web download, it is probably a safe assumption
that the original poster would use a high amount of compression and
create those artifacts.<br>

I don't use PNGs, but I seem to recall the issue that FrameMaker has
of creating hundreds of colors with PNGs only occurs when the PNGs
are saved with a bit depth other than 8. I'm sure someone more
familiar with them will pipe in.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">With all due
respect to my colleagues on this forum, IMO the line between
JPG and other formats is no longer as neat as it once was.
Many screenshots in Win 7 require gradients that JPG handles
well. IMO anything that a photo can handle might not be so
far removed as you might think from basic screen captures,
We are no longer in the cartoony Win 3.x world.
