Hi:
 
I have some test results with screenshots that I would like to insert in a reply to one of these threads. These pictures are embedded in a Word document.  They don't have URLs to point to.  Is it possible some way to paste this document stream in a reply on this message board?

You can post an image in a reply when replying normally using the Reply button (however, not when using Quick Reply), by clicking the little tree icon on the toolbar that appears above the reply box.  The forum's upload capability will support .jpg, .jpg, .gif and .png files.  There is some time needed for the image to be moderated before it will appear.  During U.S. daylight hours, Monday through Friday, the moderation should occur fairly quickly.  On weekends and evenings it may take a while longer before the image is cleared.
 
Since the images you want to post are embedded in a Word document, those will not post in their current format.  If you copy the images out into a program that can save into one of the supported formats, you could then upload the images.

Yes, I saw the two icons above, one for direct image, the other for links.  Doing that would require basically disassembling my notes and reassembling them here.  I'll just post text excerpts instead. Without the screenshots, the text skeleton remains, which is not a complete a picture, obviously.   Thank you.
