Is it possible to save a 2 page Word document as a jpeg or pdf? If so, how do you do it?

    Is is very easy to get it to a PDF; all you need to do is pick up one ot the PDF printer utilities (there are plenty of free ones, eg. CutePDF Writer), and then you print the document from Word (or any other application) to a PDF file instead of real paper.

    Like the above poster said - CutePDF writer is a good choice. Many companies actually use this freeware.

    Appears on your PC as a printer and works just the same, except it creates a pdf file rather than printing on paper.

  • Which version of Word?

    If it's 2007, click on the 'Office' button (top left) and select 'Publish' - there's a pdf option in there.

    I've got a real legit licensed copy of 2007 Enterprise edition and I don't have it!

    It is 2007. I found the publish button but I didn't find the pdf option.

    I was attempting to email a document to a person who apparently doesn't have Microsoft Works or Microsoft Word. They said they could open a pdf or jpeg.

    For the future Wordpad (in Start > Accessories) makes a decent fist of Word docs.

    I think this has to be downloaded as a (free) add-on from the MS site. I haven't bothered myself as I have a freebie PDF converter. (Not a very good one IMHO but I rarely use it.)
