Which version of ProPage did you say you have? To get an IFF into ProPage, I just load it. Image size may your problem — that and an absence of sufficient chip RAM (which handles images on screen). Experiment with smaller images to see if they load properly; then you'll know that's your problem. The only way around it is to crop an image before hand. 1728×1092 is a very large image. At one pixel per byte, that'd already be eating up well over a meg of RAM.

>> Which version of ProPage did you say you have? << I have PPage 4.1. I have been trying different things and I got the fax.iff to load into PDraw only after making a page size of 22 x 22. I tried this with PPage but it still wouldn't work. I guess the size of the image is just too much for my poor A500 to handle. The only thing I can't figure is why will it load into Brilliance and PDraw but not PPAge,ProWrite and ArtDepartment?? One idea I have yet to try is to send a fax with a smaller graphic on it. ArtDepartment has a 'Save Cropped Image' which seems to save just the area on the screen that is showing. This might give me a small enough file to load into PPage. I'll let you know what happens.

Some software (possibly Art Dept. and Brilliance) packages are able to map graphics into fast RAM, whereas many programs depend entirely on chip RAM, which is already tasked by the need to display Workbench and other screens.
