Rather than inserting a large image into a page, it's much better to create a smaller version of that image and create a hyperlink to the large image. That way you AVOID a long download time for the page. The smaller version of an image is often referred to as a 'thumbnail' and you can automatically create a thumbnail of any web image in FrontPage without needing to learn a graphics application. As well as creating a thumbnail version of the image, FrontPage will automatically link the NEW image to the larger version. This WORKS for both GIF and JPG formats.

Here's how to create a thumbnail image:

• Import the large image that will be the basis of the thumbnail into FrontPage
• Open the page in which you want to include the thumbnail and insert the original image where you want the thumbnail to APPEAR
•  Select the image by clicking on it - you should see that the drawing toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen. Providing that the image is wider than 100 pixels, 
• Click the Auto Thumbnail icon. The image will now reduce in size. The default settings will mean that the new image has a width of 100 pixels and has a two pixel border, indicating that the image is hyperlinked. You can change the width of the border by right-clicking the image, selecting 'Picture Properties', 'Appearance' and altering the 'Border thickness' value. Your original image remains unchanged; the thumbnail is simply a new, smaller version
•  Click the 'Save' icon the save the page and the new thumbnail image. You will see a window entitled 'Save Embedded Files' appear.
•  Click the 'Change Folder' button and select the 'images' folder within your FrontPage Web. Click 'OK'.
• You should now see listed under 'Name' the name of the thumbnail image, under 'Folder', 'images/' and under 'Action', 'Save'. Click the 'OK' button.
• If you now switch to the 'Folders' view and open the images sub-folder, you'll see that the thumbnail has been saved with the same name as the original large version but with '_small' appended to it. The file format of the thumbnail will be the same as the original image.

Tip: In case you always want a 1 pixel border around the image, change the setting via 'Tools', 'Page OPTIONS', 'Auto Thumbnail'.
