Hi Dennis,

First, thanks for the response.

I took a closer look at my procedure and the photo blossoms from a 3.289"
900 pixels to a print ~ 9" wide.

I found where to reduce the font size from my MS Internet Explorer( 5.00)
and now that looks good.

I am outputting a HTML report from TMG and viewing it off line from the
internet.
Second Site does the same thing with the photo.

There must be a way to set an option that fixes the size as found when
linking the Exhibit

The details of the 7" w x 9.5" h photo:
I scan it in using PhotoShop (6.00), @ 50%, Orig=PHOTO, scan type=GRAY,
Purpose=OCR (this gives 300 DPI).
I then resize the image, add a white border and caption at the bottom.
Save as a PS image ".PSD" and a .jpg for TMG use.

The image size ends up as:

Pixel dimensions of:
Width = 990 pixels
Height = 1200 pixels

Document size of:
Width = 3.289"
Height = 3.986"

Resolution of 3.01.046 pixels/"
