How to Convert Pictures From a Word Document Into a JPEG

Word lets you use different picture formats within documents. When you save a Word document as a Web page, Word creates a folder for files you've used within your document, such as clip art and images. The folder is placed in the same location as the saved Web page. Word saves a copy of bitmaps as JPEGs and a copy of WMFs (file format for clip art from Microsoft's Clip Organizer) as GIFs. You can convert any images that don't convert into JPEGs from there.

Instructions

1. Open the Word document that contains the pictures you want to convert.

2. Click the Office Button and then "Save As." The Save As dialog box will open. Change the "Save as type" option to "Web Page." Click "Save."

3. Click the Office Button and select "Open." You will be directed to the file you just saved in the Open dialog box.

4. Look for a folder with "_files" extension. The folder's name will be the same as your document's name, but include an "_files" extension. For example, if the original file is named "myimages," the folder will be "myimages_files."

5. Double-click the folder.

6. Right-click an empty area in the dialog box and select "View" and "Details."

7. Right-click any GIFs that didn't convert completely into the format you need. Select "Open with" and "Paint."

8. Click "File" and "Save As" from the Paint menu. Change the "Save as type" option to "JPEG" in the Save As dialog box. Click "Save."
