Copy a Group of Cells in Excel 2007 to the Clipboard as an Image


If you want to share a small part of your Excel worksheet but don't want to send an Excel file, you can copy part of the worksheet to the clipboard as a picture instead, which can be pasted into any application that supports images, such as your favorite image editor.
The command in Excel 2007 to do this is oddly located on the Paste menu in the Ribbon. From the Home tab, click on the drop-down menu under the Paste button, and select As Picture \ Copy as Picture.

How tell a Geek.


I quote the below post from a forum because I thought it will be fun to know how to tell if someone is about to be a 'Geek'.
Here's the post:
I Can't believe it but I actually got the Picasa and Gallery 2 to work together. This has been about a two week process but I finally was able to import a Picasa album into Gallery! I just could not contain my excitement. I tried telling my wife but she didn't quite understand, "You mean the thing you have been working on every night until 1:00 AM?" "Yes, honey, that's the one." I thought maybe someone here may appreciate it a little more.
It's quite an old application to discuss here but the lines sounds classic because many have gone through life this way.
Cheers people.
