Hi,

Is it possible to copy Charts from your Online Help File onto the "New Topic" window in order to ask you a question?

I have tried several times to copy & paste the extract from your files but only the text above and below the chart appears in the box.

It would make it easier to ask my question if I had the chart to refer to.
Tks in Advance.

Efxby - most of us use a "screen capture" freeware or shareware program that we then put into a service like photobucket to then use to illustrate charts, etc. on here. The freeware program I use is called "FastStone Capture" but I know that there are several out there.

Hohandy,

I've downloaded FastStone and can copy the image from Telechart to 'Word' but not to this window. I even copied the charts from the Telechart File to 'Word' and tried using FastStone to copy the charts in 'Word' back to here.

What should I select as my destination on the FastStone drop down Output Menu (although I've tried 4 or 5 at this point) before I select the Capture Button? Has the Tree icon - 'Image' Button above the Telechart Topic Window anything to do it?

I'd appreciate your help - Many Thanks

Efxby - you copy the file to anywhere on your harddrive. Then you set up a free account at a photosharing site such as photobucket. That puts your file on the Internet, and from there you use the "Image" icon at the top of the message window here to refer to it and it illustrates here.
