can you do a save as and change the type to jpeg?

By Macdog on Wed 19-Nov-08 19:07:19

can you open it, right click and save to a picture folder?

By TeenyTinyTorya on Wed 19-Nov-08 19:08:08

What BB said! Maybe it's saved as Read Only.

By SlartyBartFast on Wed 19-Nov-08 19:08:53

can you send it as an attachment? and before pressing send, try and open to see if it does?

By 2shoes on Wed 19-Nov-08 19:40:29

no it won't let me

By Wezzle on Wed 19-Nov-08 19:44:17

can you right click and change file extension to jpeg?

By TequilaMockinBird on Wed 19-Nov-08 19:45:52

Or right click and copy it into word/paint or something so that it can be saved?

By littlelapin on Wed 19-Nov-08 19:57:44

What is the file extension

By 2shoes on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:03:14

all I can find out is that it is a
Microsoft Office Document Imaging File

By Wezzle on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:07:54

right click on the name and change file extension to .jpeg

then see if it works

By littlelapin on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:12:41

Are you using Office 2003 or 2007?

By 2shoes on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:14:05

2003 I think

By Wezzle on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:16:50

2007's awful....

By Wezzle on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:16:50

2007's awful....

By littlelapin on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:20:11

OK, gimme a sec

Go to Start

Programs

Microsoft Office

Look for the program "Microsoft Office Imaging" - you should be able to open it with that. And then hopefully you;ll be able to save it as a JPG.

By mankymummy on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:22:18

if you can view the photo somehow... then open it up and view it and then hold the shift key down and press print screen (top right of your keyboard) then if you have photoshop or photopaint, open that and open a new file and press ctrl and V to paste it into the new file. then save it, as a jpeg or whatever.

By Wezzle on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:32:06

Vista's bloody awful too...aaarrrggghh

By differentID on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:32:44

I hate vista.

By 2shoes on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:33:06

200
and I can't find the sodding disc. I think I need to add a aplication. oh damm. i need it by friday,
do you think it owuld be wrong to send a pic of mil's brother and pretend it is fil?

By Wezzle on Wed 19-Nov-08 21:35:21

I'm sure I've just right clicked and changed from .dif to .jpeg in 2003 before

failing that...your secret will be safe with us wink

By 2shoes on Wed 19-Nov-08 22:05:18

oh I give up
I think I might have emailed it to you LL
on the other hand I might have sent it to a random stranger

By littlelapin on Wed 19-Nov-08 22:08:03

Oh THAT's what that was!

By 2shoes on Wed 19-Nov-08 22:11:03

can you feel my desperation
but I do know you like a man in uniform

By littlelapin on Wed 19-Nov-08 22:13:33

Fab photo... looks like James McAvoy in Atonement.

On its way back as a JPG (and cropped)

By 2shoes on Wed 19-Nov-08 22:19:31

wow
THANK YOU
PHEW
i thought I would never get it done.
how did you do it?

By littlelapin on Wed 19-Nov-08 22:31:47

Just opened it - I have Photoshop wink

but most decent graphics programs could handle it.

Make sure you change your default scanner settings so it saves as JPG not TIF.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

, type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
