<p>the directions are "Please select a file to upload using the "Browse..." button below. If you experience difficulties, please contact technical support. </p>

<p>i can't seem to make the picture 250 KB; it's still too big. have you guys had this problem? what steps do you need to take to convert the picture so it's small enough to upload? thank you!</p>

<p>if you can upload a .doc document, did you try copy and pasting the picture onto a word document? i dont know what that would do to your document size-wise, but i can't imagine it being more than 250 KB</p>

<p>You can resize it in paint under "Image." Just edit the attributes of the picture. I think that's what I did.</p>

<p>it must be in bmp then. make it a jpg</p>

<p>sunkist- yeah, i tried copying into WordPerfect, and the current size is 1.38 MB even if i pull the arrows in the corners..hah. Maybe I'll try changing it into a pdf file.
xredcomet- when i tried changing the attributes, it doesn't maintain the proportions...it kind of cuts off the sides
namkim- it's in JPG right now, but the website says we can't use JPG format</p>

<p>=P ahh. oh well, i'll try loading it at school or something</p>

<p>in photoshop go to edit>>image size and then type in a smaller number, like 400 or something.</p>

<p>You're supposed to save the image in .jpg and then copy and paste it into word, I'm sure that's what namkim meant.</p>

<p>I had a picture that was bigger than half a page, saved in .jpg format and it's only 197 kb.</p>
