Saving wordart as tif or jpeg

Question

From the drawing toolbar, I have created a logo.  I want to use this logo for some Microsoft online templates for Business Cards.  I find I cannot import the logo because it is a doc file.  How do I change the logo in the word document to a tif, jpeg or bmp file?

Answer 1

As far as I know, Word cannot save directly to a picture (I have been wrong about things like this before, though).

Essentially, you would want to make a screen print of what you have created, and then use that. But the resolution may suffer, so I have a third option in that event.

1. Select and Copy the whole logo. Chhose Paste Special (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+V). Paste as a picture. Now right click on the picture, and choose Save as Picture.
2. Press PrtScrn. Paste and edit in a picture viewer/editor (or paste into Word, crop, and save as picture).
3. Copy the whole lot as is, and do a simple paste into PowerPoint. Now from PowerPoint, you can save the slide as a jpeg. This may give you the best resultant resolution.

Answer 2

You can use the 'Snipping Tool' to save as a picture jpeg.  It does not look much like a jpeg but it was saved as  jpeg to my picture folder

Answer 3

Yes, that's the conventional approach (as documented in http://www.gmayor.com/extract\_images\_from\_word.htm. You don't have any choice of format: you get what you get. In my experience, you get GIFs for images that would be better as JPEGs and vice versa.

Ah, yes, I missed that (that the query applied to Word 2003).

However, I suppose you could then save the Word 2003 file as an .html file, and then take the picture from the resultant output.

I don't have Word 2003 installed any more, but I do recall that you could save Word documents as html that far back already?

1. Select and Copy the whole logo. Choose Paste Special (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+V). Paste as a picture. Now right click on the picture, and choose Save as Picture. 

Save as Picture was introduced in Word 2010; the feature is not available in Word 2003.
