== Category changes == |

Looks like you are going great work on adding companies to [[:Category:Companies based in Columbus]]. However, since [[:Category:Companies based in Ohio]] is the parent category, you should remove the articles from ''Companies based in Ohio'' when you add them to ''Companies based in Columbus''. --[[User:Kralizec!|Kralizec!]] ([[User talk:Kralizec!|talk]]) 19:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC) |

:Glad I could help. Please let me know if you have any other questions, or if there is anything else I can do for you in the future. --[[User:Kralizec!|Kralizec!]] ([[User talk:Kralizec!|talk]]) 19:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC) |

== JPGs == |

You recently tagged these three images I uploaded ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galaxy_1950s_issues_grid.jpg], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galaxy_1960s_issues_grid.jpg], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galaxy_1970s_issues_grid.jpg]) as inappropriate format. I created these by building an Excel spreadsheet and doing a screen grab. If you know of a shareware program that would let me save a screen grab as a gif or png, please let me know. I currently use Photoscape but it doesn't appear to let me save in any format other than jpeg. Thanks for any help.

: You can do a PNG screen grab on Windows without any extra software. Here's how to do it on a default install of XP, for example: |
|||
:: 1) Open the window you want to grab |
|||
:: 2) Hold Alt and hit the Print Screen key |
|||
:: 3) Open Paint |
|||
:: 4) Paste the screen grab in |
|||
:: 5) Crop to the region you want |
|||
:: 6) Save as... and pick PNG from the 'Save as type' drop-down |
|||
: Of course, there are many free graphics programs that allow you to take screenshots of regions directly and save in whatever format you want. The one I use the most is [[GIMP]], in which taking a screenshot is simple: File -> Create -> Screenshot. I hope it helps. -- [[User:Jalanpalmer|Jalanpalmer]] ([[User talk:Jalanpalmer#top|talk]]) 20:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC) |
