thanks djorde.....the screen shot really helps.
btw, i am having problem attaching a screen shot lately. the message said something about my image being too big. so i adjusted the image size in photoshop and still have the same problem then i saved it as a web and in the preview no attachment shown. i am still figuring out what's happening.

It does 😉

When resizing, keep the ratio fixed ...
