How to Convert a Word Document to an Image

1. Create your document in Word 2007. Choose 'Save As' from the Office Button. You should see an option for saving the document as PDF or XPS (see picture). If you don't see this option, you'll need to download the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS (a free download). See the link in Resources.
2. Determine whether a PDF file will suit your needs as an image file. A PDF file is considered an image file in many applications: QuarkXPress and InDesign, for example, will import PDFs as images. A PDF file will retain the formatting created in a Word document, and can be e-mailed as an image attachment as well.
If you want to go a step further, however, and convert the PDF file to a .bmp or .jpg file, there are a couple of options.
3. Open the PDF document in an image processing program such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. If you don't have access to either of these, the open-source image application GIMP is a good, free alternative. See Resources for download information.
4. Save the document in your desired file format: .jpg, .gif, .eps or .bmp.
