Hi Sue,
Cut and paste is dangerous in PowerPoint. Sometimes it works great, but
when it fails, it usually fails big.
The best thing to use (and to teach the kids) is to right click on the image
in the browser and save as an image on the hard drive as an image file.
Then use the insert image from the PowerPoint interface to add the picture
to the presentation.
I would also make sure, since you recently upgraded versions, that all the
SPs are installed. PowerPoint 2003 shipped with some issues that are fixed
with the SPs.
I would also make sure that you address the copyright law requirements on
using pictures from the web. As I am sure you know, use of the images, even
though they are on the web, is contingent on the authors permission. Just
because they can access it does not mean it is theirs to use.
