Hi Julie,

A quick work-around would be to just convert the graphic into EPS format.  
Assuming you have the ImageMagick suite of tools, try this:

   convert im004704.jpg im004704.eps

This will preserve the original JPEG file, but it might be wise to back it up 
first just in case your 'convert' is not the (safe) ImageMagick version!

I realize this doesn't directly address the problem, but I just tried a 
similar thing in LaTeX source, and had the same problem you did (and my "fix" 
worked fine). I don't recall if I've ever directly used a JPEG file in LaTeX 
source -- need to look into that a bit.

HTH...

Incidentally, it was ex-GLLUG member Ben Pfaff who made a great little LaTeX 
presentation several years ago that got me started using LaTeX. I don't think 
he's still on the list (went to Stanford a while back), but "Thanks, Ben!".
