Hi, Cathy -- Thanks for all the great info. I'm actually doing the research again, but many of my earlier online sources are no longer available. So far, I've had good luck, but I don't want to trash all the work I've already done, just in case. Kris On 5/8/2017 7:16 PM, Cathy Pinner

Thank you Martha. As another writer of technical documentation (retired in 2009 after nearly 30 years in Silicon Valley) I agree. A graphic, along with callouts (arrows and text) to describe about what you are writing is very important. However, as a writer who has used Microsoft (or Apple)

It's not just viruses; it's malware too. And your computer could already be infected, meaning you have no idea that the image you send contains the virus or malware. Normal looking images can hack your computers. You should not presume the image files as "innocent" anymore, as they can hide
