Hi, no to your final thought ....

try changing the name of the image ... this usually helps ... and re-insert and publish again ... keep the name small and simple if you can ...

LadyEye....thank you thank you and thank you. your suggestion has worked. I didn't know something so simple as changing the name could save me hours of scratching my head in bewiderment.
thank you for responding so quickly
