Thanks for the response; I live in FL and have no power and just got internet (have a generator) which is why it has taken me awhile to respond.

Do I understand you, you open a pic. in photoimpact and crop it then bring it into the file with your page? Can you not manipulate a picture (besides resizing) w/in the file containing the whole page- ie cutting into a shape etc.

As soon as I get power I will try your suggestions (working on battery I have limited time on the computer). Thank you again.

Jill
