File Save Formats

[Guest]

I am asked to produce a document in any one of the following formats:
Accepted File Formats

Adobe Acrobat Document (*.pdf)
Adobe Illustrator Artwork 8.01- (*.ai)
Adobe Photoshop Image (*.psd)
Bitmap Image (*.bmp)
GIF Image (*.gif)
JPEG Image (*.jpg,*.jpeg)
PCX Image Document (*.pcx)
PICT Image (*.pic)
PNG Image (*.png)
PostScript File (*.ps)
Scalable Vector Graphics (*.svg,*.svgz)
TARGA Image (*.tga,*.vda)
Windows Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)
Windows Metafile (*.wmf)


MS Word installations I have used elsewhere allow the user to save off a
file in several of these formats, and others, but my MS Word here does not!
It only allows:


MS Word document .doc
MS Word template .dot
XML Document .xml
Web page .mht, .htm, etc.
Rich Text Format document .rtf
MS Works format .wps
An oriental option .hwp


What do I have to do please to save a file in any of the above formats???

Many thanks,

Stuart F

Get a .pdf creating program and use that. Some are free, others aren't.

Thanks JoAnn. What about, for example, .png files or Windows metafiles.
Should Word not be able to produce these itself?

Word is a "word processing" program. All but one of the files you've listed
are "graphics" files. I have to ask why you would be using a word processor
to create a graphics file. If it's all you have and you prefer not to get a
proper graphics program, then you need to resort to third-party software.

I know it sounds rough but I am a big advocate of using the right tool for
the job.

To add to what JoAnn has said, I would be very surprised if you ever had a
version of Word that was able to SAVE to any of these formats or even open
them; those are the formats you would see listed when you use Insert |
Picture | From File. If you don't want to get Acrobat or a clone to create a
PDF, you might want to investigate SnagIt, a screen capture program that
includes a printer driver that allows you to print to a file in any of a
number of graphics formats. At $39.95 for a single-user license, SnagIt is a
very inexpensive program (especially given its capabilities), and there is a
free trial download available; see www.techsmith.com.

My husband just downloaded the trial to use at work and he loves it! He
showed his coworkers and they're considering getting a multi-seat license.
