I created a diagram of the "Structure of Production" using MS Works (paint).  I would like to post this image here, but "copy" and "paste" does not work.  ("Text" copies to the clipboard and pastes just fine, but this is not text.)   Suggestions?

You have to save the picture in web format, upload it to a site (like photobucket), and then link that in the post.

Thanks.   Is a ".tif" image a web format that will work?  If so, then I am on my way.

TIFFs are huge file-sizes, usually. Save it as a JPEG (.jpg) and the file size will be smaller.

Thanks, I scanned it as a JPEG.  My ignorance when it comes to using computers has been exposed.
