Mike...

I think this would be a great experience, I mean sharing your style.

To include a chart in here, it's simple, here are the steps:

1- Open the chart, maximize it over the whole window

2- Click the ALT+Print Screen buttons, ALT first, hold, then click the Print Screen, you will find the print screen button either above the "Insert" button, or somewhere above the numeric pad of your keyboard

3- Now, open your paint brush

4- Paste or click CTRL+V

5- Now you are having the chart inside your paint editor

6- Make any necessary changes to the image you need

7- Save the file in a good format. Avoid BMP as the file size will be huge. I prefer the png although it is not common

8- Now you have saved the chart as an image. You will need to make sure that the image size is 600x600 pixels. So you right click the file and see it's properties and check on the width and height of the image to make sure any of them is not more than 600

9- If you are using a 800x600 screen resolution and captured the screen with the chart being maximized, then probably your width will be 800, you will need to change this and scale it down to 600 only. Unfortunately, in paint brush you can only reduce/increase size using percentage, so you open the picture once again in Paint, click CTRL+W and adjust both percentages to 75%

10- If you are using a 1024x768 screen resolution, then the width will be 1024 this time, and you will adjust the percentages to 58% instead of 75%

11- Now you are ready to post your chart, just attach the image to your post and that's it

PrintSreen is cumbersome, especially if you just wish to select a region. I posted the link to this little freeware app before, but anyway once more.

It allows you to select a fixed/any rectangle/window or region. Saves to jpg by default.
