Default Range - GIF

Hi Jarek,

You need a screen capture program for this. There is a free one at
http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html

If you want to do it from VBA, here is something I found on Google fro a guy
called Victor Eldridge. Seems to work okay.

Sub testit()
CreateImageFile _
TheExportRange:=Range("B2:S49"), _
TheFileName:="c:\myPic", _
TheFileFormat:="gif"

End Sub


Sub CreateImageFile(TheExportRange As Range, _
TheFileName As String, _
TheFileFormat As String)

TheExportRange.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, _
Format:=xlPicture

Dim chtobj As ChartObject
Set chtobj = TheExportRange.Parent.ChartObjects.Add(1, 1, 1, 1)

With chtobj
.Width = TheExportRange.Width + 8
.Height = TheExportRange.Height + 8
.Chart.ChartArea.Border.LineStyle = 0
.Chart.Paste
.Chart.Export Filename:=TheFileName & "." & TheFileFormat, _
FilterName:=TheFileFormat
.Delete
End With

Set chtobj = Nothing

End Sub

Hello,

I know it is possible to export single chart to GIF file using Export
method. Is there any simple method for exporting range of cells into GIF

(or
maybe other graphical format) file also?

Thank you,
Jaroslaw Kowalczyk
