I just added some add-ins from my Office-XP 2002 CD. Things like
TIF,JPEG,BIF file extensions to allow people on my system to save in these
file types. But when I go the Templates and Add-in sub-screen and press the
"Add", I am unable to find the Add-ins that I have just added? What am I
doing wrong? Thanks in advance . . .
 
Those are not add-ins but filters or converters. How did you install the
converters?

Thanks for the quick response. I added them thru Add/Remove utility using
the CD that I have for the product. Should I be looking for Add-ins to save
a word document with images as a jpeg or am I missing a step? What roll do
the filter/converters play? Thanks again . . .
 
You cannot save a Word document as a JPEG (or any other graphic format)
except by using, say, a screen capture utility such as SnagIt that allows
you to "print" to a graphics format. The graphics filters in Word allow you
to insert graphics in given formats in Word documents.

You can extract graphics from Word as JPEGs as described at

Thanks Suzanne. I would not have known that this shortcoming existed in this
product had you not enlightened me. I have always been able to open pictures
and other images into Word, so I gave no thought when I needed to build and
save something in a graphics format. I downloaded snag and it has given me
what I want for an PRTSCRN-image and allowed me to print without a loot of
fooling around. Thanks again . . .
 
SnagIt is absolutely awesome! Believe me, you want to pay for the full
version. It'll be the best $40 you've spent in a long while.
