I don't know about WFW but the April issue of Inside Msoft Windows sez
that Write was just NOT designed to display or print color pictures.
Therefore when you paste a color picture into a Write document, Write
will change to black ANY color other than white. This makes some
pictures look yuck fooey. The newsletter recommends using Paintbrush
to Save As... a Monochrome bitmap. Paintbrush will change ANY DARK COLORS
to black and any light colors to white. This CAN result in a more
pleasant looking picture. Then they recommend calling it back up in
Paintbrush copying and pasting to Write. They also go on to talk about
Write's resizing of pasted pictures...but that's another story.
