| 107261 | 2002-12-18 04:57:00 | I got sent a M$ word doc (something.orcon.net.nz) to "print" and distribute (i have no printer) So i took a screen shot, edited it and the best i could get was this this. (something.orcon.net.nz) So how can i turn it into a .jpg without all the squiggly lines and stuff. I thought of tidying it in photochop, but there must be an easier way than that! .Clueless |

| 107263 | 2002-12-18 05:02:00 | Quickest way would be to right click on each underlined word and choose "ignore" for the correction option. Then convert Quite a good way of distributing the doc actually! Most people can open jpg, but not always Word.. Either that or use PDF |

| 107266 | 2002-12-18 11:23:00 | mikebartnz, Well i dont like html mail, and i know people who dont like it being sent to them, so i nice safe .jpg attachment on plain text email will be universal.. I particually don't like M$words highly over complex html scripting. .Clueless |

| 107267 | 2002-12-18 11:44:00 | "I particually don't like M$words highly over complex html scripting." I certainly agree with you there but I noticed the printed version was 50600 k so html would be a smaller download. Most people I know don't like HTML email because it hogs band width for very little purpose. I remember going to a web site a while ago where on the home page you had a choice of a graphical layout or plain text and it was amazing how much faster the text was and yet I still got all the info I wanted. |

| 107268 | 2002-12-18 12:01:00 | There are also people out there who cannot deal with html mail, i can think of a friend with an old mac who cannot open html. The 6+year old mac simply displays the source code, which makes OE written html email rather unfriendly to someone intimidated by technology. Text + .jpg would be hanlded by simply opening the attachment. I handle html mail in my windows box but have every possible security setting running at "ask" this makes IE unusible, but stops spam opening 20 windows as soon as i open my mail. Sorry.. i just don't like html mail, and i wont send to others in bulk something in a format that i am personally uncomfortable with. .Clueless |

| 107269 | 2002-12-18 17:48:00 | why didnt you make it entirely in photochop, as you call it, in the beginning? :D would have made for a smaller file size in the end too (export > gif ;)), eg, sosoft.orcon.net.nz < almost half the size of the jpeg version grtz sal. tga |

| 107270 | 2002-12-18 20:35:00 | >why didnt you make it entirely in photochop I didn't make it! One of the orginisers sent it to me, so i could send "exclusive" invitations to my friends. She of course knows quite well that i will send quite a few "exclusive" invites out, but like too many, she assumes that everyones computer can do exactly what the one provided for her at her main job can do. I know from running a email list that not everyone out there is running a M$ operating system with M$ word and the same fonts installed as the author. Infact i have had more than one of these, (quoting responce from a CHCHGIG mailing list post) Hi Chris, Unfortunately, your message came thru' as incomprehensible. Now, this may be because of the system I use......simple text But, I do know ...not many messages are this perplexing...I do manage to get clear messages from most other sites.... It's probably a Mac thing. I'm waffling... What am i doing up this early? .Clueless |
