Visio 2003 gif file shows as black rectangle in Frontpage 2000.

I have been using Visio 2000 up to now to save process charts as gif files
and then save them into Frontpage 2000, this has always worked well.
Recently my Visio software was upgraded to Visio 2003 and when I try to do
the same all that shows is a black rectangle, although if you go to preview
the actual picture displays.

I have tried saving the drawing as a JPEG and inserting that, this does work
but the picture is very 'grainy' and the file size too large.

I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give

stay in the same thread.
see responses from yesterday and continue there.
