Create an image from a table
I've created a table in Word with text and pictures in various cells.
I'd like to save the table as a picture somehow so I can use it in a range of documents. In Excel you can use Shift - Edit - Copy Picture on selected cells but there doesn't seem to be an alternative in Word. Any help would be much appreciated |

Answer: Create an image from a table
Yes, you can definitely save a table in Word as an image. Here's how:
Alternatively, you can also use the "Save as Picture" option in Word to directly save the table as an image. Here's how:
That's it! You now have your table saved as an image that you can use in any document or presentation.

You can save the table as an AutoText entry; that way, you'll be able to
re-use it in future documents. To quickly create an AutoText entry: Select the table. On the Insert menu, click AutoText, and then click New. Type a name and click OK. This saves the AutoText in the Normal template, so that you can use it from any document (regardless of template). If you want to be able to pick a specific open template to store the AutoText in, use the InsertAutoTextAutoText dialog box.

Thanks a lot Stefan.
Having reread my original post I amfaid I didn't make myself very clear. I actually want to use the picture of my table in different applications not just Word. I know I can use the Print Screen button and crop the picture but that seems very clunky and I was hoping for a slicker solution. Thanks again |

For screenshots, I'm told that SnagIt (http://www.techsmith.com) does a
very good job. (I haven't used it personally, though.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "nospaminlich" wrote in message ... Thanks a lot Stefan.

You can just copy, then Edit--Paste special, as a picture, in virtually any
application, though you might want to do it in Word and save it there, so you can copy it later. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "nospaminlich" wrote in message ...

Using EditPaste Special as suggested by Anne Troy would be a better
approach in this particular case, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... For screenshots, I'm told that SnagIt (http://www.techsmith.com) does a very good job.
