How to Convert Word to BMP Format
BMP is the standard bit-mapped graphics format used by the Windows operating system. There may come a time when you wish to convert a Word document to BMP format. Reasons for doing so include using the contents of a Word document as your Windows wallpaper or protecting your email address from spam bots when publishing a document containing the address to a webpage. You can perform the conversion using a third-party program called Universal Document Converter and the "Print" command in Word.
