Default inserted graphics have gray background

When I insert a black and white .tiff (bitmap) graphic into .docx file the background turns gray. This didn't happen before in .doc files. I've been having to convert previously used graphics and new downloads to grayscale images and reinsert to get rid of the background. Any suggestions to get rid of that extra step? Thank you.



Saw a post from April 2012 with same issue, but not a solution.

In all likelihood, the images actually have grey backgrounds. After inserting the pictures, you might try using Word's transparency tool to make the background colour transparent. Note that this might only work if the background is uniformly shaded. If the shading is achieved via dithering, it might not work.
