Changing the format

[Edward101]

ive got some word documents but want to change them into .jpg format, how can i do this?

i put a document into photoshop, but then i have to set out the layout again, and the photos on my word document cant simply be copying and pasted in the photoshop layer. its setup fine on word, i just want it as it is, but just in jpeg format.

thanks in advance
Ed

I guess printing it and then scanning it is out?

Why do you need it in jpg if you don't mind me asking?

its for a photography project, whereby im making a book, where ive analysised my work and a chosen photographer etc, ill be using lulu.com to make the book and i need it in JPEG format.
So i now need to change the format for each page :bang:. Havent thought of scanning actually, but then ill loose some quality possibly? I need it to look like a professional job as it 30% towards my final grade.

ye, ill have a search round the internet. Are there programs that are already on my computer (windows xp) that i may be able to just simply open up the file then just save it as a JPEG?

 

[Eklipze3k]

There is a print option (similar to the program above) which lets you save it as a picture, but it's not jpg format and I can't remember what format it is (XPS or something). Unless you try that and just try opening the file in Photoshop and doing a Save As... anyway and see what happens... ?

it wont allow me to open the file onto photoshop as it is .doc

hmmm ill just have a play about on the computer i think, and see wot i can do.
thanks

Aye, I know Photoshop won't allow you to open .doc - when you open the .doc, go to Print... in Word and instead of sending it to your normal printer choose the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer I think it's called, if I remember right it saves it as some kind of picture which you *might* be able to open in Photoshop
