Stupid question: Are the words hell & heaven written with capital H's?

Depends if you believe they are real places, I suppose...
So, as agnostic I'd better spell Heaven with a capital H to show a bit of respect...just in case. 
My agnosticism is so weak that on Good Friday I will not eat meat or hang up any washing. A Catholic Boarding School education runs deep. You can take the Catholic out of the church but .....
Probably a dumb question but anyone know how to change the reaolution of a jpeg file? need to send something off to print but printer is saying the resolution should be more than 300. What does that even mean?? 
My printer is http://print24.com/uk
If you have scanned in a photo to your computer, you need to do it at the minimum of 300 dots per inch, this is so the image can be stretched without losing quality. There is no easy way for your to virtually adjust an image without the loss of quality. If you have an original copy, I suggest you just scan it in again making sure 300dpi or more is selected.
Oh ok. Thanks for your help mate, I think Ill just have to figure out something.

In truth I'd not bother with the capitals but I suppose I don't want to hurt the feelings of those who do as I assume they must be religious folk. Or maybe it's because I assume they're place names, like Narnia for instance.
They should not be capitalised. (I don't think they even are in the bible, but I could be wrong about that.)
But if someone particularly wants to, go ahead. I just don't think it's correct English.
(Weirdly, earlier I opened my dictionary at random and it happened to be on the page which has both the words heaven and hell on. Festive!)

It doesn't sound like a very detailed dictionary zooo! Has it got pictures in it?
Is a little Oxford dictionary I've had since I was 12. (It has a Take That sticker on it from Smash Hits.) \o/

:0)
The German dictionary I had at school has a flip 'story' I made of an ejaculating penis. I was 12, German was boring!
It was a bit embarrassing last year in Berlin when I'd forgotten this was there. I was showing the nice elderly German lady the word I wanted (but couldn't pronounce) and it was on the page with the money shot. >_<

No, just a penis. There was none of that sort of filth!
Probably cheered her up. The old saucepot.
