| How do one save an excel file as a .jpg pic? I did it just the other day and now I can't remember how I did it. There's no .jpg option in the "save" menu. |

| If you are using a PC then you would have to do a screen capture by holding the "ALT" key and pushing the "PRT SCR" key (next to the scroll lock key). This copies the window to the clipboard. Then open Paint and Edit/Paste it there. Crop it as required, Save As .jpg. Excel by itself can't save as a .jpg. |

As noted previously, that's a somewhat ambiguous question. An "Excel" file is a proprietary Microsoft spreadsheet file; a ".jpg" file is an image format. They don't jibe.
What is it you're really trying to do? |

I do copedent charts in Excel. I use the screen capture facility of Paint Shop Pro to turn them into images. GIFs work better than JPGs for that because you can set the background color to transparent and the file size is smaller.

Thanks for the hints! Now I've learned to use the screen capture function to copy an excel copedant pic to a photo program (Adobe Photoshop on this pc) and save from there, and it works just fine.
Nevertheless I remeber having saved directly to .jpg in Excel, no matter how impossible it might be.
Any other forumite who's done the impossible some time?

Are sure you were in Excel?
You can save power point files as jpg's
Cut from excel and paste to power point then save as jpg.
There are add ons for Excel that will allow you to save in .pdf
format. Also there are programs that allow you to print from any program to .pdf and .jpg
hope this helps

In recent versions of Excel you can go to File/Print/PDF, save it (press quality, 300dpi) and open that in Photoshop and save it as a jpg. You may have to install the "PDF print engine" or whatever it's called from the Office CD or MS's website.

Yes, I'm convinced that I was in excel.
However I might be wrong - that's happened many times before when I think I was right, and it'll happen many times again - but I might be right as well. The problem is that I'll never be as familiar with computers as today's youngsters. I think that there's an unbridgeable gap between people grown up with a totally new technique and those who has learned (parts of) it at comparebly old age. Oldies sometimes do mistakes that youngsters can't even imagine.
If I wasn't in excel, then I really can't explain in what program I worked. |

Try this:
Do your chart in Excel. Hi-lite your chart and copy (Ctrl + C). Open your bit map editing program (Photoshop or the like). Paste (Ctrl + V). Then Save As as jpg, tif, or gif.
Or try this:
Hi-lite your chart and go to Print. On your print dialogue box select Print What: Selection. Under your Printer Name drop down menu, select "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer". Click "OK" You'll then be prompted to select a file location. Once you've saved that file (it will be saved as an "mdi" file), open it in Microsoft Office Document Imaging. From there you can Save As a ".tif" file.
I use the first method frequently in my day job. An Excel chart should copy/paste into any program that can handle images (PowerPoint, Word, HTML editors, etc). It will paste as a bitmap unless you are pasting into a program that can handle Excel charts (Power Point and Word), and even in those programs you can Paste Special as a bitmap.
