save drawing object in microsoft word 2007 as jpg

Question

I have made a logo using the drawing object toolbar in microsoft word 2007 and need to save it as a jpg file and also as a pdf file.  How do I do that... when I right click on the image (my logo) I don't have an option to do that.  Thanks for your time and any assistance.

Try one of the techniques in this link to Graham Mayor's site:

Answer 2

I confirm: Word 2007 does not have the "Save as Picture" option. It is a known issue addressed here:

Answer 3

Word's Help for Word 2007 suggests that you have to first copy the object, then Paste Special in the picture format you want (.gif, .jpg, or .png), and then use Save as Picture on the context menu, but I tried this and didn't have that menu option.

The prescribed technique does work in Word 2010 (Save as Picture is on the menu).

Answer 4

As previously noted, this does not work in Word 2007, which does not have the "Save as Picture" option.

Answer 5

You can use 'copy', then 'paste special' and several options pop-up. I usually select the first one: 'enhanced metafile' because it seems to be the most universal. Then, you can right-click the image and select 'save image as.....'.

Alternatively, you can simply copy and paste into "Paint". Then save as bmp, jpg, etc.
