When I try to insert into my document, a screen comes up that says "file
conversion - IMG_6049" select the encoding that makes your document
readable. __ windows default ___ ms-dos ___ other encoding. Then
the picture is just gobbledy gub.

Using Windows Explorer, right click on the file name and select Properties.
That will tell you the type of file.

Hey JoAnn, treat me like a complete idiot on this stuff. I can work my way
around Work, Wordperfect, excel, etc. but for features such as this, its all
greek to me. Thanks.

That is your problem. Word wants a .jpg (or other format), not a Paint Shop
Photo Album picture. Can you ask your friend to send you a different format?
That one will not work.

One other option:

Download Corel Photo Album's trial version. You might be able to do what you
need with that.
