Re: [Finale] inserting .gif's

Thanks Aaron, but one more step:  how would I save it with Fax 
compression -- I have no idea how to do that.

Not a GIF, but you can insert a TIF or EPS. Select the Graphics tool and 
double-click in Page View where you want the graphic to appear.

The catch with TIF files is that they can't be saved with LZW compression, 
which is a common way of saving those files to save space. So you'll need 
to use a graphics program to make sure the TIF is saved as uncompressed.

(If your TIF is straight black and white, like a signature, you can also 
save it with Fax compression, which Finale will recognize. This helps keep 
the file size down.)

Aaron.
