You probably need to resize (scale down) the JPEG picture. This can be done in many image editors, such as GifConverter (a shareware utility that converts/edits JPEG, GIF and PICT, etc.) and GraphicConverter (shareware/very good). Adobe Photoshop (if you have it) is one of the best.
You can download GifConverter and GraphicConverter at www.shareware.com, www.tucows.com and most mac shareware archives.
JPEG View is much more limited.

Once the JPEG is scaled down to a more manageable size, you should be able to work with it in Claris. For inserting in a Claris document, I suggest saving a copy of the JPEG file in PICT format (save the original).

If an image file is too large, you may run out of RAM copying it to the clip board.
