First, I'd verify that you've applied all three FM 9 patches.
Then I'd save one or two of the files out as 9 MIF, open those, and
save them as 9 .fm files to see if that changes anything. I've run
into a number of small glitches when bringing older files forward...
and those 6 files are vintage.
Hi Corinne,
Look under View>Options and see if at the bottom of the window under Display
the Graphics have not been selected.

Yes, Chris, you've got the question right.
As people have responded, I've refined my requirements:
--Preview images easily. It would be nice not to have to fire up PaintShopPro
or another program every time.
--Version control. Prevent anyone storing a revised, updated image to the same
