How do I convert a photo not in .jpg into .jpg?

Many of you probably already know but for those of you who don't know I will try my best to keep it simple. (sorry, I don't have instructions for MAC or cell phone users at this time)

PC/Windows users:

• Go to your picture file, if they aren't already thumbnails, go to 'view' on your tool bar and change the view to 'medium icons' or if you have an older version of Microsoft Windows, click the icon or thumbnail display, and your stored photos will then change from a text list to a thumbnail photo gallery so you can view what the photos are.
• Next find the photo you wish to rename (convert), right click and choose from the popup menu, OPEN WITH.
• Select the photo editor you use, or Microsoft Office Picture Manager (MOPM)
  Note: If you have a PC older than 2002 you may not have MOPM
• Your photo will open with whatever editor you selected.
• Now all you do is resave the photo, choose .jpg as the format, then name it your first name + your member number, no spaces between 'name & member #, then save.
• Example: marge10001.jpg.
• Next, go back to your membership control panel, look for the Edit my Profile link.
• Go to the Browse button, click it, then choose the photo you renamed and saved as a .JPG
• Those of you who know how to crop your photo and it is larger than 200x200px should crop your photo before saving it to be a .JPG, to 200x200, then save. This will keep it from being distorted.
• Click Save and Voila! It saved & is published on your profile page!
