OrchidWiz question

[Ross]

I was able to <right><click> on image. It popped up a message "image copied to clipboard". I was then able to paste it into Word. Didn't try Excell, but I don't think you can paste an image directly into an Excel cell. I think you have to import. That means you'd have to find a way to save the image from Word as a jpg image. I'll work on it and report back to this post if I am successful.

OK, here is what I did. I opened Excel (you'd open your existing workbook and highlight the cell where you want the image). Then I looked up an orchid in OrchidWiz and right clicked on the image I was going to try. It opened the Image screen for that image. I then right-clicked that image, which copied it to the clipboard (same as a <ctrl><C> would.) I then went to Excel and hit <ctrl><V> for paste. The image came in. Now the caviat is that it spread over many cells. So you would need to be prepared to edit that image. The image edit tools were automatically opened for me. Didn't go beyond this point, but try that sequence.

I was also able to paste the clipboard image into Photoshop where I cropped it and then saved as a jpg image. That image will import into Excel, just fine. You can resize in Excel by using the pick points. Corner points preserve aspect ratio.
