Thanks to those that replied but I haven't been able to solve the dilemma
even with your good advice.  Very frustrating.  Anyone else have any
suggestions on how I can insert a graphic or picture into a Word document,
and then not only see it on screen, but manipulate its size?

I have tried saving the photo I need to use as a smaller version but it
always pastes as the full size.  I've tried 'paste special' but that is of
limited use, unfortunately.

I remember loving my old 'Draw' program within Appleworks where I could do
all this stuff but the new OSX and its attending Microsoft applications
don't do what I want!!  Bugger!!
