Using WordPerfect is definitely the best way, in my opinion.

When you load the WPG file into WordPerf (using {Graphics}{Load}),
choose {Graphics}{Edit}.  This will display the graphic on the screen,
and allow you to shift it (cursor keys), size/crop it (PgUp/Dwn),
rotate it (grey +/-), and 


	 INVERT IT!!!!!     {Switch key}  [usually shift F3, or it may be
												  a numbered menu item on the 
												  bottom of the graphic edit screen.]

I think all you need to do is invert it.  Also, try choosing 
black/white or white/black colours when grabbing your picture.

I would also like to recommed a program called HotShot.  It is a screen
grabber that has its own internal format as well as an editor and converter.
(it: it will convert to greyscale PCX, regular PCX, GIF, IMG, EPS, etc.,
many of which WordPerfect will read directly (or you can convert to .WPG
using GraphCnv)).
