Hey, 

Sounds interesting. How do we find out its OS/2 BMP and convert to Windows BMP ? 

Appreciate your help.

My idea was to load it in a an image editor and resave it as I suspected some kind of format discrepancy when I got the very same error message  you experienced. And the program suggested "OS/2 bitmap" as file format for saving and so I realized that its not in Windows bitmap. Actually I wasn't aware of an OS/2 bitmap format and don't know what the difference is. Guess its a completely different format and only shares the same extension "bmp". I used the rudimentary pic editing functions of a screenshot program to do the job, but I guess any decent picture editing program would do fine.

EDIT: Just gave it a try with Windows Paint and the conversion to Windows Bitmap worked equally well.

I haven't tried for long to get it actually displayed in the header. Maybe its just necessary to make the margins wider to do the job.

EDIT: Tried it and succeeded. Setting the top margin to about 37 mm does the job.
It was a bit strange. When the margin was set to 10mm, Mathcad imported the pic without any message but did not display it. When I had set the margin to 30 mm, Mathcad told me (when I imported the pic) that it was too tall and asked if the margins should be set automatically so that the pic would fit.

Anyway - your problem should be solved if you

• open the picture file in Windows Pain and immediately resave it
• make the margins in Mathcad large enough and then insert the pic in the header
