Re: [users] Re: How do I convert OO Writer .doc files to .jpg or .gif?

Depending on the size, this can be accomplished in two easy steps. If it's very 
large, then it requires more steps.
   
    
   Open the file you wish to convert. Try to have all of your material visible 
in one screen. You can do this by converting to Full Screen view or by closing 
some toolbars at the top and bottom of your screen. Perhaps you can use a zoom 
control to shrink it to one screen.  
   When you have what you want, press the PRINT SCREEN key. I believe this 
feature began in Win95.  
   Open a graphics program of your choice, such as Windows Paint, or Open 
Office Draw.  
   Create a New Document, if a blank one isn't loaded as a default.   
   Hit Ctrl+V (for paste), or click on EDIT then PASTE.  
   You may have to edit the "chrome" from your screen shot. Chrome is what the 
toolbars and edges are called. To delete this, hit the rectangle select key 
(the one where you drag the mouse from the upper-left to the lower right) and 
select what you do want to save.  
   Save your picture in any format you choose. The formats available to you 
will depend on your graphics program.  
   If your material is more than one screenful, return to your document and 
make another screen shot with the PRINT SCREEN key, using the same ZOOM factor. 
You can overlap the previous shot, if desired, to make it easier to recompose.  
   Return to your graphics program and hit PASTE. Trim the chrome and save it 
as another picture with the same format you chose for your first cut.  
   Repeat this operation as many times as necessary.  
   If you have more than one screenful, open a new document in your graphics 
program and add your screen shots one by one and line them up as they should 
be. You may need to reduce the zoom factor to accomplish this. When everything 
is in the correct place, save the entire picture with a new name, such as 
composite_xxx.yyy (the graphics format of your choice). This operation is 
called stitching and is available in many graphics programs such as Adobe 
PhotoShop.
   
  This technique works for print, graphics, line art, and photos — anything 
that appears on your screen.
   
  If the PRINT SCREEN key doesn't work for you, you can try Ctrl+PRINT SCREEN. 
The PRINT SCREEN key most probably is located on your keyboard above the INSERT 
key to the right of the main keyboard.
