Re: Procedure to convert MS Word to JPG

 

Amazing! You guys solved a similar problem for me. I too, believe it or

not, needed to convert a Word (2002) document to a graphics file. I tried to

copy and paste the .doc contents into Irfanview and/or MS Paint and then save

the result as a bitmap or jpg file or whatever. It worked, except there's a

table in the Word document and the process I just described failed to copy

some of the table's horizontal and vertical lines, which can be reconstructed

using paint or Irfanview but it's a pain and why do I have a computer anyway

but to save me pain?

 

Using a screen shot pasted into Irfanview or MS Paint works beautifully and

is more than adequate in terms of size and readability.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you all.

 

Now here's another little problem. The table contains info generated by a

VB program which writes to an ordinary .txt file. The records written

contain 6 tab-separated fields. To get the data into the Word table, I open

the text file with NotePad or WordPad, copy the contents and paste them into

the table in the Word document. The tabs control which column in the Word

document table a particular field from the .txt file ends up in.

 

This works very well, but it would be be really nice if I could skip the

copying and pasting and write directly to the table in the Word document. Is

there any way to do this? (Possibly VBA?)

 

I created the code using MS VB 2008 Express Edition and created the output

file using a System.IO.StreamWriter object, if that's any help.
