image paste

[Andrew]

I've noticed that some of my postings have been being sent in duplicate 
or triplicate.  I apologize for that, and I assure you that it's the 
fault of technical forces beyond my control.  If this message gets sent 
many times, I'm sorry.

Jacqueline made some fine suggestions, but I'm having trouble 
implementing them.  First of all, how do you resize an image object to 
a fomattedWidth and Height?
Secondly, I'm still having a lot of trouble getting my second image to 
paste separate from the first image.  I shrink the first image and move 
it over to one side of the card.  Then I click elsewhere on the card 
(so the first image is not selected) and paste my second image.  Still, 
the second image appears right on top of the first one, no matter where 
the first one is located on the screen.

By the way, I'm using Revolution demo.  Could that have anything to do 
with it?

Thanks again for your help!
