In office2k I can insert 24 bit .png files and I haven't had problems with
misbehaving colors. You may want to give this a try.

You may also want to try David's TVREAD program. It will simplify and
generalize the capturing of DG windows. I ended up hacking it to save 24bit
png files too (it is possible that it does this in it's original form and I
missed it). Let me know if you want my modified version.
