For your further eduction, TIFF (Tag Image File Format) wasn't
developed by Microsoft for Word, but rather became popular by Adobe
supporting it for Page Maker, a popular Desktop Publishing
application.

The history of TIFF/IT starts around 1989 when DDAP (the Digital
Distribution of Advertising for Publications Committee) asked ANSI,
which is the American National Standards Institute, to define a
standard for the exchange of digital adverts.

ANSI has its own subcommittee that deals with graphics arts and this
committee, called CGATS, decided to start with the development of a
standard for the exchange of raster data. They planned to add another
file format for vector based data later on.

CGATS took the TIFF file format as a starting point. The most current
version of the TIFF specs is still version 6.0, defined by Aldus way
back in 1992.

In 1996, the specifications of TIFF/IT were finalised. TIFF/IT was a
very open and powerful format that left a lot of room for developers
to handle things in different ways.

You mean on how to cut and past from the web? Anyone can do that! But if
pumping yourself up helps then good for you.

However this is funny:

Then adam said: "You'll need WAY MORE effort to come close to knowing a
fraction of what I do."

That's great!
 
You are a waste of space. You make up a statement by me then argue against.
Well, well, well. I didn't say MS developed TIFF. I said TIFF was a native
graphic format of earlier Word. If memory servers correct Word's 1 clipart
was tif (or was it Word for Dos 5).

The office file format, as of Word 97 (internet graphics were added in later
versions) treats bmp, wmf, pcx, tiff, and office shapes as native formats.
In 97 jpegs were converted to bmp and pict. Remember bitmaps today are
different from the past - they were crap. TIFF was the graphic format and
what word liked as it natively supported it. Also Macintosh PICTs may also
be stored with some of those formats.

This is a constant problem with adam that many people have pointed out. He
simply does not understand what he reads. He jumps to wild conclusions then
two weeks from now he'll continue to state how wrong you were about the TIFF
files.

Oh well, not much you can do about it I guess. Even killfiling him is
pointless since he'll spam your every message.
 
Why would I ever look at snipping tool. I can use paint.

My goodness, you can do backpedaling too. You're the one that brought
up the snipping tool and said it could annotate. I simply pointed out
it actually just draws lines with the pen or pencil tool. You were
smart enough to leave it alone otherwise you would have had to defend
the lunancy of pretending you "draw text" with it to annotate rather
then admitting you were incorrect or at least impercise.

Your many people; yourself, Mickeyhsd, <.> and Frank. Just by chance
dopes I bitch slapped silly more than once. Your problem Justin is you
don't have a grip on reality. You live in a very weird Walter Mity
world where you fancy yourself the ultimate everything. Damn funny.

The above are my exact words from the two posts. Pray tell where do I state
it does. I merely report what Help says. That is why I'm not a sloppy
thinker like you. I have been very specific in my choice of words to convey
the meaning I meant it to have - Help claimed the snipping tool does
annotations.

Talking in an intellectually honest war is second nature to me. As I give
you a hard time for your failure of the scientific method, I also train
myself.

If you didn't belieive what help says, why did you quote it? You're
still backpedaling.

You pick words to convey what you want them to mean. Oh, I see. Now I
understand. said:

You and intellectual in the same paragraph is funny. You haven't
trained yourself very well bub. Of course that is to be expected
considering who your teacher is.
