Computer problem....Help

[serryjw]

This happens all the time. Am I doing something wrong? Someone sends my an email with a PIC. I try and 'save as' but nothing saves. I can right click and save as a word doc in a Microsoft word document but that will not be accepted for format on photobucket so I can post on here....any suggestions?

1. What OS..what email app are you using...

Details...

2. Do you have outlook?

What's the file format of the picture? (jpg, gif etc...)

4. Here goes

WIN '98
JPG
Outlook Express

3. Are you right-clicking on the picture itself...

or saving the mail content itself as a word doc? The reason I ask is that sites like photobucket will not accept *.doc files. If you do a "save as" for an image, it should have an extension like these, *.gif, *.png, *.jpg, etc.

5. Didn't I say that?

Yes, I am right clicking the JPG image but it is not saving..on as a doc on WORD but I can't use photobucket

6. When I click on "save" I get format choices from a drop down menu . . .

at the bottom of the save box.

Could that be it?

8. Click on the paperclip symbol. A menu should come up with choices

including Save Attachment. You just choose a directory on your hard drive, then upload from there to Photo Bucket.

13. OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! I was doing it wrong

I was trying to save each PIC in the attachment, instead of the entire attachment. This is hard work!......BUT worth waiting for!

7. Simply drag the image to your desktop

If it is an attachment you can't see, drag the attachment to your desktop. If the image is within the body of the email, drag the image to your desktop.

If you have a folder (or an shortcut) to images you save, drag the image to that location. You will have to make Outlook not be in full-screen mode in order to drag the image to wherever you want.



Try this. Drag Bill Gates to your desktop. The computer will know what the image is (gif/jpg/png....)

9. Dang, I didn't know you could do that.

Works in Opera too.

Thanks.

11. Is that really Gates?

What did he do?

12. Traffic violation in New Mexico in 1977

1977 - Bill Gates is arrested for reckless driving for the second time in New Mexico. He's caught running a stop sign and driving without a license.
