Microsoft works document to a jpeg?

Question

I have a microsoft works document that when I send it to my contacts, most of them can't open the document. Any ideas on why and what to do about it? Could I convert it to a JPEG? But how do I do that?
Please help!

Answer 1

First possibility:

Make an screenshot (press the button Prt Scr). Paste the Screenshot in Paint and save it as JPEG.



Second possiblities:

Your contacts may download and install "Word Viewer" (it's free).

Answer 2

Works Document

Answer 3

For a jpeg I would open the doc so it fills the screen. Press PrintScreen/SysReq button top right of keyboard. They won't be able to edit it.



Open paint or photoshop, ect, and "paste".



Edit if needed and (important) "save as a .jpg" in Save As box.



Other options: Save (export) as .pdf--everyone has adobe reader. Open Office.org Writer is compatible with .docs, many use it cuz it's free. Just noticed you said Works--open it in Word or OO Writer and save as .doc or whatever Writer's doc equivalent is.

Answer 4

Download and install Open Office. It's free.



You can use the OO word processor and save the file in Microsoft Word formats. Or, you can create a file in OO format and export it to a PDF file.

Answer 5

You could either convert it to pdf or as you said a jpg.

For a jpg you could use the print screen button, paste into and tidy it up in a graphics program and then save each page.
