Resizing clipboard image to be used for a excel document

[within a thou]

Good morning.

 

I was wondering if there was a easy way to crop a image to a set imperial size using the copy image to clipboard or if there is a easier way to accomplish this. I am trying to attach the image to a excel setup sheet and the way I am doing it right now seems very time consuming and I know I am doing something wrong. I searched the topics and found one using VBS but I am as good with VBS as I am resizing. Any and all help will be appreciated.

Just paste into Excel, and use the sizing handles to drag to the correct size.

I have been trying that but it is making the image very blurry which was why I was hoping to size it instead of shrink/skew.

I use the Microsoft Paint program. For example, I use the "copy image to clipboard" function in MCX and window copy what i want, open "Paint" program and paste. crop as desired. I invert the colors so it doesnt print the black background, and sometimes convert to black and white then save to a folder.

open Excel, use "insert picture from file", find your file and paste. drag it where you want it. p.s. if its a solid you want to copy, make sure to highlite yellow first, then copy. when you invert it will come out light gray in black and white mode.

 

hope that helps.

If you run windows 7 there is a great built in screen capture tool....called the "snipping" tool.

Right click in the image in excel and FORMAT PICTURE...It will give you the opportunity to re-size it. You can also right click "show picture toolbar" that brings up other options
