Right you are, Egg. I'd obviously taken the advice that "the top option is the best" to heart, because my reflex reaction to paste in Xara is CTRL+V, Enter.

TBH I've only ever even paid attention to the Paste Special box when I've been trying to paste in a vector, sometimes the top option doesn't quite do what I'd expect but the other options do.

Ah well, not sure where the 192dpi comes from but at least now I know how to get a 96dpi copy! Till now I have pasted, deleted, then dragged the image out of the bitmap gallery to get the correct size! (every day for years, and often lots of times a day!!)
