Exported files expand in size when opened in a paint program.
Many paint programs ignore the dpi resolution information in BMP,
PCX, and TIFF files. These programs assume that the resolution of the
file is the same as the current screen resolution. Because these files actually
contain more information than the screen, they grow in size. Instead of
using the export command, you can open the item in Page View, cut out
the information, and then paste it into the application you want to use or
into a new file in a paint program such as Paintbrush. You can also open
the file in a graphics program that accurately reads the dpi resolution
contained in the file.
Unable to import a file.
Check whether the file you want to import is saved in the appropriate
format—for example, check whether the file is a BMP, PCX, or TIFF file. If it
is none of these, select the appropriate file type and try importing the file again.
You can also try opening the file in a paint program such as PC Paintbrush.
Use the Save As command in the paint program to save it as BMP file and give
it a new file name. Then try opening the new file in PaperPort.
