how to display a word document on the desktop
Do you mean as a wallpaper background? To do that you would need to convert
it to a graphical image. The trial version of SnagIt will do that. Print the document to the SnagIt driver with the output option set to jpg or bmp. Then right click the desktop properties desktop and browse to select your saved image. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org tuntumgirl wrote: Silly question I know .

how to display a word document on the desktop
On Vista, you can use the Snipping Tool to capture the screen image of the word document and save it as a .jpg file. Then personalize the Desktop background with the jpeg graphic. || "Graham Mayor" wrote: Do you mean as a wallpaper background? To do that you would need to convert it to a graphical image.

how to display a word document on the desktop
Does the snipping tool capture the parts of the document not displayed on
screen? For that you need a scrolling capture tool ... like SnagIt. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mecalith wrote: On Vista, you can use the Snipping Tool to capture the screen image of the word document and save it as a .jpg file.

how to display a word document on the desktop
Hi Graham,
The snipping tool has some nice features (screenshots of the dialogs here) http://lifehacker.com/software/windo...ool-228885.php but I don't recall that is has all of the features of http://snagit.com such as scrolling capture. ============ "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

how to display a word document on the desktop
It is certainly a step in the right direction, but invariably Word documents
at a readable scale are only going to be partially displayed. If you zoom to display the whole page then the screen capture will be small and bitmaps don't scale up well. My point was not that Vista didn't have a useful capture utility, but that it couldn't scroll to reveal the part of the page off screen.  -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bob Buckland ?:-) wrote: Hi Graham, The snipping tool has some nice features (screenshots of the dialogs here) http://lifehacker.com/software/windo...ool-228885.php but I don't recall that is has all of the features of http://snagit.com such as scrolling capture. ============ "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

The is no contradiction here. You presented a method; I added a Vista
variation. In retrospect I would: Set Word 2007 to Full Screen Reading [Print Screen] paste to Paint save as .jpg set as Desktop background.
