OK, we figured out the copy image issue! It seems that "copy image" doesn't work in all browsers, so we are going to change our instructions to remove this as a suggested option. Instead, we suggest you do the following to insert existing images:

1. Right click the image
2. Choose "copy image url" or "copy image location"
3. Then use the "Image URL" option in the "insert image" tool
4. Paste the image URL into the "Import Url" field

The process of highlighting the image, doing CTRL+C and then CTRL+V should work, but the "Copy Image" option seems to sometimes cause problems and not show up properly.

test #2.
same picture.
1. highlight image. Right click, "copy image location."
2. back to my editor, clicked on the image icon and then clicked on the "image URL" tab.
3. right click, "paste." The image URL is now pasted.

Whoa, test #2 shows a larger image than is the one I copied from the site I got it at.

Test #3.... I did not highlight the image this time. Just right click, " copy image location."
Right click, "paste."

That image is huge because the image you're copying is huge:

That's the images real size. The one you did a CTRL C / V is resized in the browser.

The image on the site is small..... the same size as my first test, in post # 41.
