Thank you for the suggestion.  No, I had not attempted to use a frame.   
I just spent a few minutes with frames.  But it came down to the same 
problem, I was unable to replace the image inside of the frame.  Also, 
when I attempted to size the image to the frame, the frame size just 
self adjusted to allow for the image.  So I did not see where it made 
any improvement in the delete and replace option if the frames adjust to 
any changes.
Thanks,
James
