Okay. I tried to pick up the document from the picture screen and I was not seeing where I could change the file extension to *.* (All files). So I went back through the C drive to where the doc is saved and tried to change the setting to All files, went back to the picture screen the document did not show up on the picture folder to pick up.
Is there a setting that should be made someplace under options/customize. I had looked before but didn't find a place to change this. ________________________________ Sent from eM Client | www.emclient.com/get ------ Original Message ------ From: "Randy Clark" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 6/7/2011 12:30:39 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Saving images to the picture file through sourcewriter >I believe you would select File as it is sort of a catchall for >several formats. > >On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 12:21 PM, R&C Sentz <[email protected]> wrote: >>Hello LUG >> >>I have been learning to use the source writer and adding photos. >> >>How do you save specific "word" docs and other unsupported docs, such >>as .txt as a picture.
