Thanks for getting that clip, Mike - I don't know how to do them :-).

Olliebeak. I use something called 'Snipping tool' (look in Windows help) which grabs the shot and once saved is posted to My Photos. From there I can lift it to the site using Rich Formatting. Hopefully Tiger will see this post and direct you to a lesson he did on such things. I can't find the thread right now.

I use snipping tool too but another simple way is to use 'print screen' on the F key & then paste into 'Paint' where you can crop & save to 'my pictures'

That definitely works and can be useful if one is using full screen. 

Thank you Tiger. Hopefully Olliebeak will catch up with this.

Well I can give a few major indexes.  My osprey news bulletin has lots of links.

one of these links  is   Index to Important Threads on Loch Garten Group

and  one of those is the   How to Thread

and a link to using snipping tool to capture screen shots

technical things are best discussed in the technical thread

All of these links are in my signature. [/quote]

Thanks Mike, Tiger and Mary for all that help and info - will have to have a really good read and try it out for myself.

Cheers - Ollie xx :-D

Thanks Wendy for mentioning an alternative way to take captures, hadn't tried it that way before, and it gives quite large photos but takes longer to upload :-)
