Opening a sub page leaving the original intact.

Sorry if this has already been asked.

I would like to click on a reduced size picture and open new page just large
enough for the full sized picture, leaving the original page intact so once
the full size picture has been viewed closing the sub page will revert back
to the original page.

I tried the Thumbnail feature but didn't like the way it closes the original
page.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

you can do the thumbnail feature, just right click it after you're done,
select hyperlink properties and then change the target to _blank (new page).

you can also do this with the photo gallery FrontPage will build.
just do it conventionally, then go into the photo gallery folder FrontPage
will create looking for real.htm, open that page, right click the first
thumbnail, select hyperlink properties, set it to _blank, then check the
"make page default" check box.

this change will hold till you access the gallery through the photo gallery
properties dialog.

"Sorry for being dense but it didn't work.

I have a picture on the index page, call it test.jpg and it's 800x600. I
right click and select Auto Thumbnail. The picture shrinks to a smaller size
(I figured out where to adjust the size of the thumbnail). I right click on
the thumbnail and select Hyperlink Properties. I change the address from
images/test.jpg to _blank. I then save it and select preview. I click on the
thumbnail and get the page cannot be displayed" msg.

What am I missing?

In the hyperlink dialogue, leave the hyperlink as it was, but change the
target frame to _blank (new page).
The finished link (in code/HTML view will be like
<a href="picture.jpg" target="_blank">picture</a>
