Posting illustrations

Post by GAHorn »

Can someone teach me how to post an illustration? For example, Jud wanted a small part that I know how to highlight from a pdf-file, and copy to my clipboard. But how does one then post it here in a message...as an illustration ... not as a .doc file etc?

George,
A simple way might be able to copy it and paste in Paint, then just save it as a .jpg or some other picture format, then it would be just like posting a picture I would assume.

just a thought...

Like Jud says. You already know how to copy it to your clipboard. Now paste it into Paint or any other editing software and crop, trim, add arrows or whatever, then save it as a JPG file to your desktop, then upload it into your message on the forums.

You can do this with any open window on your PC. Just size the window you are viewing whether it be a word document, PDF file, or even a web page and then push "Alt + Prt Scr". That window is now in your clipboard and you can paste into your graphic editing software (like Paint) and then do any cropping and trimming and then save it as a JPG to your desktop.
