Okay, now we at least know your operating system. We still do not know in any useful detail how far the instructions worked.
Win 7 specific instructions:
1) Open XtrkCad, load plan
2) Click on File | Export to BMP, save file on C:\temp\myplan.bmp
3) Close Xtrkcad
4) Click on Windows start button in lower left hand corner, click into edit box "search programs and files", type mspaint C:\temp\myplan.bmp, press ENTER
5) You now have your bmp file open in Micosoft paint
6) Click on icon named "resize" (fourth column from left, two from top),
select "pixels" instead of "percent", enter 640 in the box that says "horizontal", click OK
7) Click on pulldown menu in upper left hand corner, choose "save as", select "JPEG image", enter file name C:\temp\myplan.jpg
Come back and ask followup questions if this doesn't work. Tell us at what step things fail, what you do, what error messages you get and so on and so forth.
