Hi Hilmar Thanks for the reply.
So, in the template, I put img_large in the clipboard, chose img_small and selected 'Reference Element in Clipboard'. Nothing visually happens - there are no green arrows or text to indicate the reference like you would normally see. When I create a new page and add img_large, nothing happens for img_small. I have to repeat the above 'Reference Element' step and then it works (green text, etc.) - there is the 1600x900px img_large and 800x450px img_small However, I don't want to perform this manual step every time - it should be set once at template level and that's it for all new pages. Does this sound it should work at template level? On Tuesday, 30 April 2013 15:59:20 UTC+1, Hilmar Bunjes wrote: > > Hi Neil, > >> At present, we use 800x450 images for news articles.
