Can't past screen capture .....
Can't seem to be able to paste a screen capture, no matter how small, into a message. Keep getting text is too large error. When I use and try to paste in between, nothing appears. Is there a way to 'shrink' the paste?

Try opening the screen capture in Microsoft Paint and resizing it to 25% on both vertical and horizontal. That has worked for me on the pics I post, but I never tried a screen capture, just camera or phone taken pics.

you need to save your screen capture as an image file and then attach it to the message using the "Attach Files" / "Manage Attachments" button below the editing window

I have used IrfanView for many years to do resizing and other graphic manipulations. It's free. IrfanView

I think everyone's experience varies due to what browser they are using and their internet service.

Thanks for the responses.
I don't get it. I trimmed the capture. I pasted it into this message and it posted without error but the image doesn't appear.

You're attaching, I'm trying to paste. Look at
http://www.paceadvantage.com/forum/s...=181415&page=2 post 18.
That's not an attachment.

Copy and paste works, if you copy an image directly from a web page.
Try right clicking the image in the following article; left click copy or copy image; right click and paste to your message page.
