Welcome to Rootschat, Caroline.

I'm afraid your image is too small.  When zoomed enough to read the writing gets too fuzzy.

Please make a new image (or images) by zooming the original to a good reading size, then clipping the first section of your record.  (It looks to me that the page contains at least two records.)

Start us off with  the first ten lines or so of your record.

I think the second image above was added since I posted?

If so, it's still too small.  See below.

We need it to be sharp when zoomed to this size (at least).

Caroline, there's no attachment to your second post.

Either the file was too big (maximum allowed is 500 Kb), or it didn't have a unique filename.

You can't reuse an attachment filename on a message.
