One other idea on saving the file, if you save as a png file its saves a lot of space, better for emailing.

Thanks for the detailed instructions! I am sure it will help others on this board also!

Now if I can just get AmiBroker to put the summation index as a ticker, I can post daily, weekly, or monthly charts! :)

Thanks again!

Subject: How to take a snapshot of a screen window ...

1. While your chart is displayed on your screen ... click the "prt sc" (Print Screen) key on your keyboard
2. Open Paint (program on our computer) ... then paste the image by clicking "Edit" ... "Paste"
3. Use the "Select Tool" (dotted square at top right on tool bar) to draw around the chart area you want to post
4. Click "Edit" ... "Copy" ... then close the file without saving it
5. Reopen Paint ... then use the paste command again ("Edit" ... "Paste")
6. Save the Paint file to your computer ("File" ... "Save")
7. Give the file a name (File name) and use "BMP" (Save as type)

If you want to crop your charts before posting them, follow these instructions:

1. After pressing the "prt sc" (print screen) key on your keyboard, opening Paint, and pasting the image ("Edit" ... "Paste"), do the following ...
2. Select the "select tool" in Paint (click on the dotted square at top right of tools menu) ... and then draw around the chart in your pasted image
3. Click "Edit" ... "Copy" ... then close the file without saving it
4. Reopen Paint ... and use the paste command again ("Edit" ... "Paste")
*your new file should now contain just the chart alone (and not everything else that was screen captured).
