Copy Excel Selection as a Picture
Want to show someone a chunk of an Excel spreadsheet via email or iChat? You could take a screenshot, but if you want to show just a portion of the Excel window and you don't use a utility like Snapz Pro, you can do this right from within Excel 2008. Make a selection, hold down the Shift key, and choose Copy Picture from the Edit menu. You can select whether the selection will be rendered as though it was shown on screen or as though it was printed. Then just switch to your desired destination and paste.

This issue features our picks for the most interesting products and events at the recent San Francisco Macworld Expo, complete with Adam's take on Internet software at the show, Tonya's report on the state of QuickDraw GX fonts and applications, and our traditional Macworld Expo superlatives.

Administrivia
We're all back from Macworld San Francisco, where we had a good time despite gusty wind and rain and a somewhat ho-hum show. Our personal high points came when playing country mice riding up the multiple floors of semi-circular escalators at the Nordstrom store on Market Street and riding up the 32-floor-high external glass elevators at the Westin StShow full article

Macworld Expo - Internet Wannabes Galore
Every year, like all members of the press, we try to figure out the unofficial theme of the show. This year, the annual Netters' Dinner stood in traditional relief against this unofficial theme: Internet products by those who don't quite get it (and a few who do)Show full article
QuickDraw GX at the Expo
After writing about QuickDraw GX in TidBITS-243 , I settled in to wait for Macworld Expo, where I hoped to see the wonders of GX fonts in action. GX has gobs of practical problems, but I thought (and still think) that the fonts are compelling enough to make some abandon practicality and to make others improve the practicality. Mainstream vendors of the feature-laden monstrosities we consider "popular" programs appear to be taking a wait-and-see approach to supporting GX fonts (though support for the GX printing architecture is more common)Show full article
