Changing Bitmap Images to Jpg

F

froglegs

Hello,
I'm finding picture attatchments in my eMails are Bitmap, and I need to
change them to Jpegs. Now, that's a large part of my computer language
knowledge of technical terms. I'm disabled, and many of my friends have seen
a project I'm working on o pass time with eMail jokes I recieve daily from
other friends, and have asked me to make them 'books' they will gladly pay me
for. Being on SSI, that would be extremely helpful budget-wise! I am trying
to figure out how to use Word to edit the jokes, and have had some very
helpful replies. What I'm doing is creating a binder full of jokes I type up
in various ways with various backgrounds, adding funny cartoons and pictures
anywhere I can fit them, putting 2 pages back-to-back in sheet protectors. I
have a wonderful card program I'm using for this project, and am able to
import Jpegs only. If you could see the pictures I have in Bitmap form,
you'de understand why I want to change them. I have Windows 98, I looked in
Help, followed instructions, but jpg wasn't a form of picture I had a choice
of to change them into. I've picked up my knowledge 95% on my own, and as I
said, my PC lingo is very limited. If someone could walk me through what I
need to do, step by step, I can follow directions pretty well. I don't need
them broken down to 'click on Start, then on programs', if i'm told to go to
to display and click on the advanced tab, for example, I know that means go
to control panel. I right-click almost as much as left (that's how I'm able
to get all the pictures I want from anywhere, and keep them in a folder easy
to access). I'm very good at extremely advanced things, and can make some
repairs in towers, but am struggling with paste and copy! I'm bipolar; easy
doesn't mean to me what it does to the average person. I'm very smart, and
my mind works in a very organized fashion. So, if someone could lay the
steps out in reasonable terms, (I find, for me, that's the only way I really
understand, and learn, and have filled three composition books now with steps
for everything I've learned to do) you would be helping a disabled person to
suppliment a meager money flow. Remember, I'm new at this; when I graduated
High School in '75, the school was excited because they would have electric
typewriters at the beginning of the next school year! Sorry for the long
letter; I don't know how to lay out a question any other way but to explain
the whole picture. If anyone gets through all this, and can answer, HELP!!
Take Care, Froglegs

Just about everyone in these forums are volunteers helping one another. Ask
specific questions about Microsoft Word VBA programming in this newsgroup
and you should ask general Word usage questions in the
microsoft.public.word.newusers newsgroup. Try not to multipost the same
question in various Word newsgroups unless they are specific to those
newsgroups and you have declared which groups you posted into. That way
people are not wasting their time answering the same questions. Good Luck on
your project.
