...im not really i technical guy and there may be an easier way to do it(cos i think sideways)...but this might work, open the document...print screen thing, then open it in paint or watever,cut off the edges and shit watever....night work, but hey its an option lol

You could take a screenshot of it (Print Scrn button) then put it into Paint and save as JPEG. If the document is larger then a page you will need to do separate screenshots and edit them together with copy and paste. Hope that helps

I dunno, maybe on the internet somewhere there'll be a printer driver that prints to an image. I'm pretty sure that the latest version of office comes with such a thing.

There is a Print to file option in office, but I think older verions just print it to some obscure format that nothing will open.

Why do you want to do it anyway?

Post it up and I'll see if I can convert it. Should be straight forward. How big is it?

Office's Print to file saves files as *.prn or something.

if you have Adobe distiller you can print to then choose the distiller from your printers. open the resulting pdf in illustrator, export it to Photoshop then save as or save for web and choose your format

that was the origional plan, it was the fact that it was larger than the screen is where i got confused....

the editing together with copy n paste was the solution i needed but i just wondered if there was another way round it

Rotting Remains · 26th February 2006, 10:33 PM

it was for a drummer ad i made, and i wanted 2 post it on here instead of writing it up coz it would look better ......

i might try converting it into a html thingy and select all... copy , paste into new bitmap, and upload on photobucket ........ hmmm.....

kj · 26th February 2006, 10:39 PM

Rotting Remains · 26th February 2006, 10:58 PM

If you have photoshop or illustrator CS2 or maybe even CS1, i think you can just import a Word file into it from the file menu and it keeps all the formatting and stuff, just make sure your canvas size is set to A4 and you shouldnt have problems with it being too large. From there, just go to Save As and choose jpg or bmp what have you.
