How can I save an image in word as a jpeg.

Question

When I save a picture or image to a document file in word,  I cannot save it as a jpeg for downloading later to a website for advertising.  I was always able to do it with Microsoft Word 2003. 

Can this be fixed.

Answer 1

If you have inserted a picture into your Word document it is already in a graphic format, i.e., jpeg, gif, bmp, etc. If you want to resave it to another format, select the picture, right click it, click “Save as Picture” and save in the jpeg format to“My Pictures” folder, which will open, or select another folder or the Desktop for the picture to be saved to.

Save image to a document file in Word?

Not sure what that means.

If you save a Word document that has an image in it as a web page, it will put the images in a separate file. If they are not jpg files you can convert them.

As a test I just tried inserting jpg into a Word document and saving it as a web page. The image was in the support files folder as a jpg.

Read http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm.

It appears that the drag-to-the-desktop method doesn't work in Windows 7, so it may not work in Vista, either. However, the web file method and the extraction from a .docx file renamed as .zip should both work.

My question is whether I can change the default setting in  when I select "save as a picture". The default setting is "Portable Network Graphic", which I never use. I prefer .tiff.. I KNOW it is saved in a graphic format, but it is twice the work to save it in one format, re-open it and save it to another format. It would be very helpful if I could change the default to .tiff to avoid converting it later.
