wordpad

Anyone know how to import pictures to wordpad and move them around?
It seems to accecpt bitmaps, but not jpegs,gifs, etc.
is there a patch or something as i dont want to have to buy any lotus or microsoft packages for what windows can do anyway!

Cheers ears

Hi dru_,
Welcome to the forum, as far as I know you can work with and manipulate other images besides bmp. You can copy and paste most any image to your wordpad, I just copied and pasted some gifs and jpgs and resized , positioned them. The 'insert' function is probally just for bmp's.
Try using a graphics program like irfanview, pull up- open- the image you want, then copy it, (edit/copy or right click and copy) go to wordpad and paste it. You should see it. Double click it and you should get the control dots around it to resize, position etc.
Whatever your reason for using Wordpad, the above should work. But Windows has other programs too, try using Frontpage Express, usually loads with windows , same as Imaging. Or Netscape has Composer.
Lots of freebies out there to do whatever you wish.

Dru_,

You can download StarOffice for free from http://www.staroffice.com it's a 76MB download but it can do all that Microsoft Office can do, in fact you can open MS Office Documents etc.

Takes a wee bit to figure out the layout but once you get going well it's a great product, again it's a free download.

Have a good one.

shouldnt take long on my trusty old 56k modem !  :-/

Nah,

It's one of those downloads you start before going to bed or as soon as you get home so it's done by morning  ;D

If you really want it and don't have the time to download it I can burn it to CD for ya, just drop me an email.
