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. --Kralizec!

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. --Kralizec! (talk) 19:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

JPGs

You recently tagged these three images I uploaded ([1], [2], and [3]) 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. Mike Christie (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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. -- Jalanpalmer (talk) 20:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
