without resizing? I'm drawing an insert-image box and within it I insert the image which always comes out distorted because I didn't draw the box with the dimensions of the inserted image, so then I try to drag the box to make it look right. But that takes too much time and is imperfect. Is there a way to do this precisely?

Hiya Jennifer,

Which program are you using? It's always good to get the dimensions of the graphic and set the code to the exact dimensions to be sure that it will show at the correct full size setting. Resizing it within a bounding box is not usually a very good way to resize your graphics. Since you're talking about dragging a box I'm going to assume you are using VSD, but please let me know and in the mean time I'll fire up VSD and see how it's done in there. Jo Ann
