Hey folks ………. I‘m old and not well. Unhappily, I am very ignorant about computers. I want to transfer a couple of my old dogs’ pictures to my profile page ……… before it’s too late. But I need some help to do it. The dogs have a certain feeling about me, and I’d like to leave them here for you to know me a bit.

Today I was working on a PowerPoint file for a client presentation, using PowerPoint 2002 on a computer running XP Home with SP2. I sent them the file, and they sent it back to me, substituting one of their own images, in PNG format, for a JPG image I had used.

File B thumbnail shows (e.g.) a picture of a person. When we double click on it, or drag it into PowerPoint, we see a different image. What's going on? Seems like the thumbnail...

Also, the...
