Doesn't change anything for me, unfortunately.

snibgo, could you upload that tiff somewhere (the one that worked), so I can test it in Word?

Ah, interesting! I did try -alpha associate and got an error:

mogrify: UnrecognizedAlphaChannelType `associate' @ error/mogrify.c/MogrifyImageCommand/3961.

Any idea what that is? Also, does it matter where in the command you put these snippets of code? Does it change depending on the order?

I'm afraid the problem persists with RGB files like the one I posted today...it is not specific to Grayscale. I really appreciate you trying to help...sorry we couldn't solve the mystery. I will keep working on finding the differences between the two using your suggestions. Thanks again!

So, here's what that ai looks like converted to a tiff in IM and dropped intoWord 2010: https://app.box.com/s/30umimdqsbou2gxe4a3p. Pretty hideous, eh?

Fred, didn't you say you are running a Mac? If so, I don't think you will ever see the green, so all the code will work fine for you, ya know? The problem only shows up in Office 2010 and older on a PC

Was really hopeful that -endian lsb would work because you are the second person to suggest that, but the images are still green. Just to check...does the placement (order) in the code matter? I'm sort of randomly placing code. Here's how I added -endian: mogrify -format tif -depth 8 -density 1200 ...

I would add -alpha off to my code but it tends to result in some funky artifacts, particularly in black and white line-art that is saved at lower resolutions (under 1200 dpi). I should mention that I have tried this experiment with RGB images, both line art and photographs, with the same result ...

I did try -type truecolor and a bunch of other -type commands and none of them fixed the problem or changed the way the image appeared in Word. The only thing that even came close was removing "-flatten" from my original code. This resulted in a white background but the *lines* in the image were now ...

For the record, I did try every -alpha command there is earlier today, including -alpha off, to no avail...

Great! I will try all of those suggestions when I'm back at the office and have a PC to test it on. I'm pretty sure that you're not seeing any green because you're working on a Mac, right? On my Mac, there are no problems at all with green...I can't even replicate the problem unless I'm running ...

So you're saying that https://app.box.com/s/icwny5lzebknx5rq3wxl opens as .ai.ps? For me it is just downloading as .ai. That's very odd.

So clarify this. It works in your Office 2013, but not in Office 2010. But it works for me in Office 2008. Is that correct? Correct. On a PC, it will work in Office 2013 but not previous versions. On a Mac, as far as I know, it will work in any version. Did you open the ai file in PS and convert to ...

Thank you. I installed IM using MacPorts I believe. Here's what I've got: TIFF* TIFF rw+ Tagged Image File Format (LIBTIFF, Version 4.0.3) TIFF64* TIFF rw- Tagged Image File Format (64-bit) (LIBTIFF, Version 4.0.3) gs --version : 9.10 At this point, I believe this has something to do with the alpha ...

Running 6.8.9-1; can you instruct me on how to update libtiff?
