Yeah, I know! Poor Lu is a friend...I am trying to find a way to do her

You have to use IE, it is some sort of MS proprietary business maybe to
'protect' the images!
CODE:
</v:shape><v:rect id="_x0000_s1686" style='position:absolute;left:43.07pt;
top:467.99pt;width:255.85pt;height:201.64pt;z-index:86;
mso-wrap-distance-left:2.88pt;mso-wrap-distance-top:2.88pt;
mso-wrap-distance-right:2.88pt;mso-wrap-distance-bottom:2.88pt'
o:preferrelative="t" filled="f" fillcolor="white [7]" stroked="f"
strokecolor="black [0]" o:cliptowrap="t">
<v:fill color2="white [7]"/>
<v:stroke color2="white [7]">
<o:left v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:top v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:right v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:bottom v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
<o:column v:ext="view" color="black [0]" color2="white [7]"/>
</v:stroke>
<v:imagedata src="REDSKYIBIZANS424_files/image001.jpg"
o:title="LUsnephew"/>
<v:shadow color="red [4]"/>
<v:path o:extrusionok="f" insetpenok="f"/>
<o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/>
Yes, yes, I see it! There is a JPG in there!
In addition the images are full size digital camera snaps that have been
scaled and not resampled (I'm stuck with dialup so this is a BIG issue!)

Well, I tried to explain Publisher is for office flowcharts and not for
web publishing and offered links to NVu and IrfanViewer with my standard
tutorial on resolution and web graphics...but...
Maybe if the web 'designer' received enough 'critiques', she might be
more receptive to me advice.
