I think what happened was I tried to insert a screenshot which was 
considerably bigger than the page in a picture frame, and that caused 
problems.  I used just the insert picture command and that worked OK, but 
the frame part didn't want to work. My suggestion for how to handle it would 
be that the default handling of any picture frame larger than the page width 
or height be scaled down to fit on the page during insert.  I don't know how 
hard that would be to impliment, but I think it would save trouble.  When 
the image is so much larger than the paper, it gets difficult to handle.

Thanks.  (It's the bug that wouldn't die! ;-)

Best,
