Thanks, Thom. I have been playing with your suggestion and it seems to have promise. I am not fond of the edit features in the MS picture manager, but the thumbnail size is better. I like to edit the photo directly inside MS Word, it has the most used features readily available to crop, lighten, rotate and compress right in the document so I get to see the finished product in the document at the finished size. I might use MS Picture manager just to get the size right though.
On the subject of camera view finders, better stock up, most smaller camera manufacturers have begun doing away with them. I found this out the hard way a couple of months ago when replacing mine. I'm thinking of ebay shopping to find a couple of the older model Sony's like the one I killed. The next best thing, a Canon is not nearly as good for low light situations and file management.
Thanks, Jim
