I'm using Microsoft XP Home Office. I recently scanned two photographs on to
a document and typed on the rest of the page using text boxes. When I email
the document the recipients do not receive the photographs, only the text.
Someone suggested I convert the document to a pdf format but I'm not sure how
to do that. Can someone please help.
 
To create a .pdf file, you will need install Adobe Acrobat software or one of
its many imitators. It should be possible to create a Word file containing
two scanned photos and some text boxes. It could be just a Word setting at
the recipient's end that is preventing the photos from displaying. Ask your
recipient to open your Word attachment and click on Tools | Options | View |
check the "Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print |
check the "Drawing objects" box | OK. If that doesn't fix it, then possibly
you linked the photos to your document instead of embedding the photos into
the document. How did you insert the photos?
