How do I copy a photo in my Word program and paste it in
my AOL email? I have selected it and copied it but "Paste"
does not appear when I try to paste it in the mail.
HELP.

Hi Howard,

I was wondering the same thing... how to get a picture
out of a Word (2002) document. I don't think it's
possible... there seems to be absolultely no
documentation on this -- only how to insert a picture,
but not how to export it.

Does anyone have this answer?

Hi Howard,

I did some digging in this forum, and found the answer.

You need to first "Copy" the picture in Word, go to some
kind of picture editting software (i.e. even Paint will
work, but a better program like Photoshop would probably
be best), and then "Paste" it there. You can then save
it as whatever kind of picture type you want (usually
JPEG - .jpg - is the picture format of choice for e-
mails), and attach it to your e-mail.

Or you can save the Word doc as a Web page, which splits the graphics out as
GIFs or JPEGs, placing them in a separate subfolder.

G'day "howard" <hfis6...@aol.com>,

Save As HTML. The directory created will contain the graphics of the
document. If that fails, do a print screen whilst displaying the photo
at 100% (doc zoom=100% & scaling = 100% or equivalents) and paste the
result into photo editor or something to save as a gfx file type.
