It's not the logo - same logo in both the "large" and "small"
versions of the template.

Thanks for that reminder. I checked my settings, which were OK
(Linda and Dian have trained me well. :D)
It's still a mystery to me. I just started from the beginning and
came up with a 126KB template that works. Another quirk is that in
some versions of templates and documents I created, the checkboxes
for options (Urgent, For Review etc.) could be ticked by clicking
on them, and in other versions nada. I made no changes to this area
from the default Elegant Fax template.
I appreciate the suggestions.
