Typed Document into JPEG, possible?
« on: Tuesday 19 August 08 12:41 BST (UK) »
I want to post a typed page (not on here) and it needs to be a JPEG.  Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so, how?
Thank you,
Abiam

If you have a scanner, print the document, scan it and save the resulting image as a jpeg.

second possibility:

if you already have the typed document as a simple text file on your computer,
drag it into IrfanView (or other graphic program), and save as a .JPG

Problem solved!  I decided to try copy and paste with fingers crossed and it's done.  No need for a JPEG at all.
But still thanks for your solutions,
