Inserted graphics have gray background

[gracelutheran]

Hi there,

When I insert a graphic into Word it has a gray background. This just started happening a couple weeks ago. The same graphic inserted a few weeks ago had a white background. These are black and white graphics. I have tried many options in picture formatting but have not been successful in making the background white.

Also interesting is that if I drag the graphic from my file into Word the gray background is not there. This would be a simple solution, but the trouble is then the graphic is very slow to work with, maybe because it's larger than if I inserted it?

Has anybody else experienced this? And if so, do you have a solution?

Thank you!
