Sometimes I'm not as techie as I would like to think. I know a couple of people here know how to select an image in a pdf and save it as a jpeg. Can one of you give me step by step instructions. (I did do the snapshot tool & pasted it to my board, but lost after that) TIA
 
I do it a long way, I do a print screen, then I paste it into MS Paint and crop the screen and save it as a .JPEG file.

Go to your start menu.... it should just be there... it's called snipping tool. (Which I bet you knew? LOL. Make sure what you want snipped is up before you open the program and then make a square around what you want snipped. It copies it to the the programs clipboard and opens it. You can save it as is or you can open it in paint or any other graphic manipulation program you want to edit graphics in.

Hope that helps, it's easier to show than type instructions.
