Is it possible? Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!

Not sure what you want to do but I would just capture the screen (press "print screen" and copy in a software that will take it and save as jpg).

Converting to pdf might be better, depending on what your purpose is.

Thank you both.
I have a problem converting tables into jpeg files (for hosting on the internet).
If I copy/paste them into paint and save as jpeg, I am loosing either quality or size. I was wondering if there is a better way to do it.

In that case, why don't you open the excel file, then under the File menu click Saves as Web file. You can then copy and paste the html. This is much more bandwidth friendly.

One more thing. Paint is not a very good program for manipulating images. PSP is a pretty good, cheap program for image work, and it has a screen capture tool. I have Photoshop, but it is pricey in comparison.

I found this link for a screen capture program, and is free. Never used it and have no idea if it is any good.

I still think converting your excel file into html is the way to go, unless you really are not comfortable with html.

I second Michael. Both XL and Word can create HTML, that would be better than converting to jpg. GIF would be better for "text images" anyway.

For image manipulation, you have the GIMP which can do almost as much as photoshop (if not more with the number of add-ons), for much cheaper, since it is free.

Does Gimp work with PS filters? Also, will it find filters already installed? I have been curious to check GIMP out, but I would hate to have to reinstall filters.

I have no idea. I guess you would have to go to their site and ask. But I suspect it is not. Although they have plenty of filters available (not always free)
