efc-- I did as you said, I right clicked on the IMAGE, and I then left clicked on "SAFE AS.." but then nothing happened. No other screen opened up as I expected. If I have the letter open, and then go up to FILE, and the choose SAVE AS, another screen opens where I can select a folder to put the letter in. I tried that. I put the whole letter in a folder, but was still unable to open the picture using Windows Picture and FAX viewer.
This letter with the picture was one of those letters that go around the internet etc. and was just forewarded to me. Maybe the person who forewarded it to me never really "HAD" the picture, so they were just forewarding the letter with no pictures with it. I will e-mail the person who sent me this letter and ask them if they actually saw the picture. Is there something else I can try in the meantime ?
