A jpg is a picture; a Word document is text. If what you really want to do
is to create pictures of pages of text, print them out and scan them.
Alternatively, you could save a screen capture ("print screen") in any
graphics app such as Irfanview or even MS Paint that can "save as" a jpg
file, but unless you like small type, you won't be able to fit an entire page

Try highlighting the document and pasting it in its entirety in Paint.
You can find Paint in Start >Programs >Accessories > Paint.
Paste the document there. When you paste, it will ask you if you
want to expand the Paint screen to accommodate the file. Chose yes.
You will then see the document on the area. When you save, you can
chose to save as a jpeg or bitmap.

I appreciate you response. I did not intend to go deep in the subject, but
it looks like I must in order to learn how to convert MS Word to one of the
files listed in order to produce an URL.
Valid file types for URL: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, swf

I usually print images, text, etc, and save as JPG or one of the other files
in order to produce an URL. But I wanted to make it simple for a lengthly
subject, and prodice one URL for three pages.

Let me rephrase my question. What is the procedure to convert MS Word to
gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp. or, swf?

To produce a URL? What are you really trying to do?

A URL is simply an address in a form that a browser can use. It
contains (sometimes by default) the protocol to use, the domain to
connect to, and a path to the document or resource to be retrieved.
That resource can be an HTML file, an image file (with any of the
extensions you've listed), an audio or video or any other kind of file
you can imagine. Or a request for the server to run a program or
access a database and return a file. "http://www.microsoft.com" is a
URL. If you type it into your browser, the browser will retrieve an
HTML file which will tell it to retrieve a stylesheet, several images,
maybe some other things.

If you want to distribute a word document, you could simply distribute
it in that format, or convert it to HTML or PDF. Converting it to an
image would about the worst possible way to distribute it.

If you tell us what you're trying to accomplish, we might be able to
suggest ways to accomplish it.

Either by a screen-shot or by using a virtual printer like that used to
create PDFs. Google on "jpeg virtual printer" for a variety of options.

Note that this is pretty much a one-way operation. To recover text from
the image would require OCR software.

Amazing! You guys solved a similar problem for me. I too, believe it or
not, needed to convert a Word (2002) document to a graphics file. I tried to
copy and paste the .doc contents into Irfanview and/or MS Paint and then save
the result as a bitmap or jpg file or whatever. It worked, except there's a
table in the Word document and the process I just described failed to copy
some of the table's horizontal and vertical lines, which can be reconstructed
using paint or Irfanview but it's a pain and why do I have a computer anyway
but to save me pain?

Using a screen shot pasted into Irfanview or MS Paint works beautifully and
is more than adequate in terms of size and readability.

Thank you, thank you, thank you all.

Now here's another little problem. The table contains info generated by a
VB program which writes to an ordinary .txt file. The records written
contain 6 tab-separated fields. To get the data into the Word table, I open
the text file with NotePad or WordPad, copy the contents and paste them into
the table in the Word document. The tabs control which column in the Word
document table a particular field from the .txt file ends up in.

This works very well, but it would be be really nice if I could skip the
copying and pasting and write directly to the table in the Word document. Is
there any way to do this? (Possibly VBA?)

I created the code using MS VB 2008 Express Edition and created the output
file using a System.IO.StreamWriter object, if that's any help.
