Viewing Probs

Using Freehand 9.01on iMac 400, after importing, ocassionally after originating, repeatedly get rectangle with cross through it, no amount of going through different views.
It is probably me, any suggestions appreciated.

It is Derrick again. Drawing in TIFF = Rect with cross thr. Giff the actual drawing, could this be the prob?

It sounds like a memory thing. The Gif will view OK because it is a smaller size file. You could try to assign freehand more RAM, or downsize the Tiff. i.e if you only need it importing at 50%, resize it to 50% in photoshop first, therefore reducing the file size. Rotating, skewing etc, also turns tiffs into funny transparent looking things, but print out fine. Another Freehand gem!!
