OOPS - Octal is 3 bit to 1 number - (sorry too much hexidecimal programming)

Of course JoAnn (MVP helper) was kidding
She's a great kidder (fun person, playing with words) I was thinking sacrificial lamb (biblical reference) myself... (much the same) and isn't there an "h" in Pittsburg (city in Pennsylvania)? ) Jael wrote: Ed - That's correct.

OOPs - You're as right as my mom when she'd say the same thing - Been in CA
too long... Context may best determines the difference between a "picture of a sacrifice" and a "sacrifical picture" ;-) Oh well Thanks to all who answered.

Sho nuff is. But that's on the other side of the state, which is akin to a
foreign country around here. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Steve in NC" wrote in message ink.net...

You can achieve the same thing by putting a wide border around the image itself,
fill the border white. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/p...649111033.aspx "Jael" wrote in message ...

I insert about 40 to 50 pictures per newsletter and get real tired of adjusting each one.

Mary,
Thank you - both solutions work while provioding different approaches.
