Thanks Ric;
Reducing the image size solved the problem ... guess I was just trying
to 'guild the Lilly' with the format. The page looks fine at the reduced
size.
I find that the output file formats are rather confusing if one is
trying to satisfy both Win. and Linux needs. There appears to be some
inconsistency in the way outpus are applied ... or maybe further
examples would help.
Anyway, thanks again;
David
