> With MS Internet Explorer... and similar suggestions may be useful for a small number of images, but they fail with large numbers. Suggestions to "right-click this or that", or use any technique that requires the poor user to take multiple individual actions with each image (locate image, right-click image, note dimensions by hand) are impractical there. As an aside, this is one area in general where Microsoft tools fail the test of "enterprise-readiness": they're mostly built on the assumption that there is always one user doing one thing on one object. If you use Microsoft tools for business, ask yourself how you'd handle this real-life example using only MS tools: remove the notes from every page of 50 PowerPoint presentations and also print them in color to PDF files. Or this one: find and record in a single text file the dimensions, color characteristics, and other meta-information about every image on a given computer running Windows. Those are realistic circumstances. ___Pete
