copy/paste or attach an image

Post by summerof42 »

I am tryng to copy/paste a spreadsheet from excel; just as it looks in excel. Tried it but it put data all over the place. I tried coping to Paint, saving as a pic, etc. nothing works and yet I see folks here paste copy of spreadsheets all the tim

This is driving me crazy!!! What the secret?

I already read this; doesn't help. Sounds like administrator needs to give permission to paste my spreadsheet? When I click on img I get which serves no purpose.

So question still remains, how do I copy/paste my spreadsheet? I've seen so many folks do this.

You have to put a URL (link) to the image. google "free image hosting". Select an image host. Upload the image. The hosting site will provide a link to put into your forum post.

mhc: Not true. I see many folks copy/paste there spreadsheets right into their post as well as screen shots, etc with no links. See one small example below;

All of the examples I saw in that thread use the technique I described and illustrated. I'm not sure what you are looking at. If you find a different way, please, post so we can all learn from you.
