How do I print a picture sent in an e-mail?

Question:

How do I print a picture sent in an e-mail?

Answer:

1. Open the picture you wish to print in an image viewer. If you need additional help with viewing or saving a picture sent to you in e-mail see the above links.
2. Once the image has been opened you should be able to print the image from the program you're using to view it by clicking File and Print. If the program you're using to view images does not have this feature we suggest visiting document CH000760 for a listing of popular image editors/viewers (many of them free).

In some situations you may receive an e-mail with multiple pictures. If these pictures are smaller images you can also print the images all at once by following the below steps.

1. Open a word processor such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, or other program that supports the ability to post pictures into it.
2. Open the image so it can be seen and copy the image into the clipboard. Often right-clicking the image and choosing copy is the easiest method of doing this.
3. Switch back to the word processor and paste the image into the document. This can be done by right-clicking and choosing paste or clicking Edit and then Paste usually.
4. Repeat the above steps for each of the images you wish to print. Often you will also be able to resize the images in the word processor but keep in mind that this can distort the image. If you wish to truly resize the image we suggest resizing it in an image editor.
5. Once all pictures have been added and adjusted print the document.
