Actually don't bother to try this link since, although the Royal Armouries may have one of the best collections af armour in the world it web site is a shocking example of looks without any worthwhile content. ------------------ Visit Castellarium Philippis |

PD or Anyone Else Who Can Help Me, I found a good picture, but how do I get it onto something, like Microsoft Word or anything? I tried clicking on it, but I don't really know what to do. |

On my Mac you click and hold the button down for a couple of seconds and a small menu comes up with a download to disc option. On windoze machine a right click might do the same thing. When you have downloaded the image to your hard drive you can then import it into Word using the menu's in Word itself. |

Sorry to take so long in replying but I had to go to bed. If you downloaded a picture onto your hard drive it should have either a .jpg or .gif suffix. If it hasn't got this you either didn't download the picture (perhaps you downloaded the html code for the web page?) or the picture is somehow protected in a way I know nothing about! If the picture is a .jpg or .gif and doesn't import as a picture into Word I'm afraid you'll have to look at Word's help files to find out how to import pictures. (I've used Word once years ago and only to write something so I'm no expert) |

PD, Okay, the file name said ART Image on it, but it didn't have one of those special suffixes. I tried to open it up on Word, and once again it came up with a bunch of I don't even know what! It isn't even in English! It's just a bunch of symbols. Here's what I'm doing: Find a picture, right-click on it, click Save Picture As:, and then give it a file name. I go to Word and it comes up with a lot of symbols that I don't understand. Please help! ------------------ |

castlesmiley, I saved one of the pics in the following manner; right click on image- select 'save picture as' then a menu box appears. At 'save in' choose my documents, then image collections if you like, 'save image as' should give a choice of jpeg /GIF or bitmap, jpeg saved succesfully. The image saved was 'standing in castle doorway. You should then be able to go to 'my documents and open the jpeg by double clicking, or right click and 'open'. MS word will only open the image if it is stored as the image, you may be saving HTML or other coding rather than the opened image. If you click and drag the image onto a Word page, you will only capture the URL or web page address for the image, not the image itself. ------------------ Gordon.

I'm assuming you have a PC. You could try openijng it in MSpaint and that might work. I suspect that the picture showed up in work in some sort of computer language, possibly MIME. I know there is a program that can translate MIME into text but im not sure about images. I've forgotten how to find the program and how it works, but ask around, maybe at school, im sure some1 can help. ------------------ Beware the Choice! Beware refusing it!" |

Knightmare, Nice signature! Pretty cool, but if you would like to continue this discussion, I would suggest that you do it in the Solar forum, or PD will get us both! (Remember, this is still under school projects.) C-ya! ------------------ |
