I'm saving your message in my Keep file. That is the first time I ever saw
how to do that!
I am deleting the program I downloaded off the web. I just downloaded
another one and will try it !
Thanks again.

Charles:
You can force the browser to reduce the images for you. However, the file
is still the full sized file and you are wasting web space by not
re-sizing the image. It will also take longer to load since the browser
has to do the calculations for you for each image. I am guessing that is
what FP is doing for you.
If you know the dimensions of the original you can use your calculator to
decide what dimensions to use.
Let's say the file is 1500 pixels by 1200 pixels and you want it to be 300
pixels wide. 1500 divided by 300 is 5 - so divide 1200 by 5 and you get
240 pixels high
Therefore your code would be
img src="myfile.jpg" width=300 height=240 alt=""
border="0"
