Adding a chart?

Ok, I know some of y'all have put charts and tables in posts but I'm darned if I can do it. I have a table in Word and Excel but can't figure out how to get it on here and have it look right. Who can help me out here?

I print screen and paste the image

Well, it wasn't pretty but I figured out a way to do it. From Excel I saved it as a PDF. Then opened the PDF in Photoshop and saved it as a JPEG. I'm sure that there is an easier way and am awaiting enlightenment! Wink

Open Excel with the image fit the screen.
Press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard.
Open Ms Paint, click Edit - Paste.
Cut out the part that do not apply.
Save as JPG.

I also have wrote a program to do this a while ago..
its a simple screen copy and paste to JPG.

If still needed, I will post it after Easter break on Tuesday.

If you run windows 7 or higher, a tool called "snipping tool" in the programs\accessories menu will do the job.

Yep, I use the snipping tool all the time. Anything on screen can be captured easily.
