How Save Word 2007 doc as JPEG?

Question

I don't want anyone to be able to copy & paste my business plan and I don't want to spend the $300 for Adobe Acrobat.  Perhaps the best way is to save my Word 2007 doc as a JPEG.  Thanks!

Answer 1

Windows 7 has a Snipping Tool that you can use to create a screenshot.

But even without that, it's quite easy:

Open the Word document and make sure that he entire page is visible.

Press the PrtScn (PrintScreen) button.

Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.

Press Ctrl+V to paste the screenshot.

Use the various tools in Paint to remove the parts you don't need.

Save as a .jpg file.

Answer 2

(You indicated Windows 7 as operating system)

When you press Prnt Screen, you don't see anything happen. But an image of the screen is placed on the Windows clipboard, ready to be pasted in any application that accepts images, such as Paint, Word, ...

By the way, a Google search will turn up many very handy and *free* screen capture utilities, such as Picpick from http://picpick.org/.

Answer 3

A program such as Picpick mentioned above has a "Capture scrolling window" option. Whether it's fun viewing a 37-page image is another thing...

Word 2007 (SP2 or later) has the ability to save documents as a PDF file without needing Adobe Acrobat. A PDF file is less editable than a Word document, but in many cases it's still possible.

Answer 4

Hello Again:  Unfortunately, pastinginside "Paint" only permits saving 1 page at a time.  I have a 37-page business plan I want to protect from people copying & pasting.  Thus, I looked at "Save As" then "other formats" from inside the Word doc, but did not find anything.  How can I do 37 pages?  Will a Screen Capture program help me with a 37 page Word doc? 

I very much appreciate your assistance.

Answer 5

I have Word 2007 and WIndows XP Home Professional.  When I clicked on Prnt Screen, nothing happened!  Must I:  1) hold that button down?  2) hit control, shift, or FN at the same time?  I tried all of these but no rx when I hit PrntScr.  Any other suggestins?  Must I purchase a screen capture software program?
