Default How can I design a logo in Word and save it as a JPEG?

I would like to create a logo in Word that I may save as a JPEG so that I may
email it to be used in making business cards etc. I would also like to be
able to change it if I need to.
PS: I am very computer UNsavvy!

Unless the logo you plan to make consists entirely of text, I'll suggest
that you don't even try to make the logo in Word. The tool is almost
completely unsuited to the task.

Even if you manage to use Word's drawing tools to create a decent-looking
logo, the only way to export it to .jpg format is to take a screen shot and
paste it into a graphics program, because Word is unable to save .jpg files.
You might as well start in a graphics program.

There are dozens if not hundreds of better tools, everything from the Paint
program that comes with Windows, through various drawing and
photo-manipulation programs, to the top-end Adobe PhotoShop. In the category
of free software, you can get Picasa (http://picasa.google.com), Paint.Net
(http://www.getpaint.net), DrawPlus
(http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/sof...s/default.asp), and a
number of others you can find by searching Google for "free drawing
software".

After you create and save your logo, you can import it easily into Word with
the Insert Picture From File command, or see
http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm for methods of making business
cards.

Default How can I design a logo in Word and save it as a JPEG?

Although I would agree with everything Jay has said, if you do manage to
create a usable logo in Word, one way to export it as (probably) a JPEG is
explained at http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm.

The method Graham describes, saving the document as a web page to
extract the graphics into a separate folder, does _not_ extract
anything drawn with Word's drawing tools. It extracts pictures
inserted into Word by pasting or by Insert Picture From File. That
would leave Sam still trying to make a .jpg from a logo that's only in
Word.

I haven't tried Stephen Lebans' macro to see whether that would handle
drawn objects -- it might.

Yes, that does appear to work, with some degradation. It would still
be easier to do it all in any halfway competent graphics program...

If such a logo was created in Word (and I agree with Jay's observations)
then there is no need to export it as an image to use it in Word. Save it
instead as a Word autotext entry and use it is its native format.

The method Graham describes, saving the document as a web page to
extract the graphics into a separate folder, does _not_ extract
anything drawn with Word's drawing tools. It extracts pictures
inserted into Word by pasting or by Insert Picture From File.
That would leave Sam still trying to make a .jpg from a logo
that's only in Word.

I haven't tried Stephen Lebans' macro to see whether that would
handle drawn objects -- it might.

Probably because it's such a bad idea to do the design work in Word. That
fact can cloud your vision and make you misread things. ;-)
