Well I tracked down my problem.
In "Linary"'s post I found the "Resize to Fit" box in Image Sizing was unchecked, I checked it and the drop down then had 6 choices, including the "long edge" choice that had been my default ever since I belonged to another photo site (now gone) that limited images to 2048 on the long side. I just used their sizing for everyone including UHH. I selected "long edge" to replace "percentage" (their apparent default) and then unchecked "resize to fit", it left "long edge" showing in the small window. Now I can control the dimensions of my exports in the manner I became used to again. And that along with "resolution" also controls how big the images post and in turn how big the posted files are.
At least I think that is how it works, just so it works I don't really need to know the details of why. Kind of like I don't need to be an automotive engineer to use the controls and drive my car.

I just had to have my laptop wiped clean and after re-installing LR I was stunned to find a completely different layout. I managed to edit all the images from my job and then was stunned to find no export button. I was able to export them as full size images but that's not what my company wants. I had my old LR on my desktop so I ended up "saving" the files onto my photo card and then used LR on my desktop to export them to the 3MB size required. What a pain!!

Today after exploring UHH's posts on the subject I realized that I'd installed a different LR. I've now uninstalled CC and installed CC Classic. It's too bad because I liked a LOT about CC but with no ability to export hundreds of images at one time at a 3MB size it's no good to me.

I'm glad you found your solution thanks to the kind, helpful folks here at UHH.
