2) Can Word be used to generate graphics?
All I want to do is type a little note and be able to get a graphic out
of it. I can type it in Word, plain text editor, or HTML, but the bridge from there to .png, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, etc has been impassable. I know this may be a little off topic, but any assistance would be desperately and gratefully appreciated. P D Sterling Dallas TX |

Why don't you start with a graphics program and then add the text within
that? Why use two programs if one will do it? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "P D Sterling" wrote in message nk.net...

The only problem with that is: I am an accountant and not a graphic
artist; I don't have a graphics program, and have spent 1½ hours googling for one under freeware. Any tips? Thanks for the reply! pds JoAnn Paules [MVP] wrote: Why don't you start with a graphics program and then add the text within that? Why use two programs if one will do it? |

I don't know which programs you may have or don't have. Do you have
Publisher? Home Publishing? Some sort of card-making program? Most (but not all) computers these days have some sort of graphics program installed. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "P D Sterling" wrote in message ink.net...

A lot of people recommend Irfanview (see http://www.irfanview.com/). It's
more an image editor than an image creator, I think, but it's worth a look. -- Suzanne S.

Don't apologise. You can still have the joy of balancing... (been there,

I will give it a try - I saw it on a list, but most of these are geared
for web pages, instead of a li'l ol' graphic. tks pds Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: A lot of people recommend Irfanview (see http://www.irfanview.com/). It's more an image editor than an image creator, I think, but it's worth a look. |

This thread seems to have run off the beaten track.
You have two choices. Type the note, select and copy the text then paste that text into Windows paint. Save from there as a graphics file. or Use screen capture - SnagIt would be brilliant, but a bit over the top for a one-off (though there is a working demo available) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org P D Sterling wrote: All I want to do is type a little note and be able to get a graphic out of it.
