Bolt sourcing issue

Can anyone suggest a supplier for a few of these? I think this roller shutter was made with "binocular bolts" in mind.

Sounds like you need a podger. q.v. google images for "podger".

Wonderful! Any ideas how I can copy it as a jpg as I'd love to run it in our newsletter

printscreen didn't work ;o((

For free, right click on the image, save it somewhere convenient, open it in the GIMP, then save it as a .jpg. Just about any modern photo editing software will open png files if you don't have the GIMP.

Or print the page from your browser, then scan it in.

It won't save or print - I just get the webaddress coming out on the paper - no image.

Translated, I think.

Save the image locally as a file and you should end up with a ,png that's about 2k pixels square and 160ish KB in size.

From that you ought to be able to stick it into any sensible WP / DTP program - PNG is pretty commonplace these days. If you really can't handle a .png, download a free copy of IrfanView (far simpler than Gimp) as a conversion program to turn it into a JPEG.

It works just fine here in IE8 and Firefox. In Firefox, you need to open the print preview window, then click on the page setup button in the toolbar, and make sure the box for printing background is checked, or you'll get exactly what you described. I've just done it from both browsers with no problems.

In IE8, file menu, print preview, set the scale to 40%, print and it fills an A4 sheet to perfection.

That was a bit tricky for some reason. I had to use a combination of Firefox, Word and Adobe Photo shop to convert it. I have emailed the result direct to you Kim. If anyone else wants it let me know and I will pop it onto my Photo site.
