Only by zipping them first. Interesting that doc & exe files are allowed to be attached, but not spreadsheet files. I will follow this up. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

Hi Sol, In addition I could only upload direct to the post. Ie could not save in photo library as it would be quite good to save as a picture so people can see the image whilst they read your text. I tried " saving for the web" which was an option but it didn't like that either. No matter, I have it posted direct to the individual post once PDF'd. Better than nothing. Cheers for now Toto |

Toto, until the forum allows spreadsheets to be attached, the best way is to print out the area you want to post, scan it & save it as a JPG ( most modern printers allow that function), edit the JPG photo as desired then post it as a normal photo.

Toto, Excel files can now be loaded. If members do not have/use Excel, then Open/ Libre Office - a free Office suite, will open up Microsoft files. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

Hi Sol, Whilst we are on the subject of software, can Microsoft PowerPoint be uploaded and if not could this be facilitated as it can be quite good for schematics etc. Just a thought. Cheers Toto |

Hi Martin, Initially I tried to save as a ping file but when I hit save as in excel, it would not give me that option. I'm comfortable with ping files as I use them for showing track diagrams with Anyrail. Excel does not like it or a maybe I'm doing something wrong. I don't know if it is a Mac that may change things, just a wild guess. Cheers for now Toto. I take on board what you say about excel and PowerPoint and will avoid their use. |

In both cases, editing to crop & resize helps as well but now XLS files - the old versions, are allowed but the new ones being XLSX at this stage are not allowed. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |
