Depending on what version of windows you have, there is a free accessory "tool" in many versions called "snipping tool" or "snip and sketch". It will make a jpeg on whatever is on the screen. You get your doc file open as you want to see it on your jpeg, then use the tool to make a snapshot of the document as a jpeg by digitizing the diagonal corners of a "frame" around the part of the image you want on the jpeg. You can also select png format as well. There is a destination folder box the file will be stored at, under the "save" icon.

I would use the Paint facility. Do an ALT-Printscreen of the Word document and paste that into Paint. Crop it as required and save as jpg.

According to my PC you can save the word doc as .pdf and then open the pdf and save as a .jpeg, though quality will suffer.

As Dave Halford said, also works on MAC computers.

Same is true of the iPad

I have an excellent App which, whilst not a ‘graphics program’ as such, has all the functionality I need for jobs like this: **LINK**

Highly recommended

… it only does a few things, but it does them very well.

Before giving up on the display unit there's a chance it supports formats other than jpg; worth trying some others as well. Try saving the screenshot in the other export formats, PNG, BMP, GIF, PS or even TIFF might work. (TIFF Is best but beware, the files are MASSIVE!)

The poor image may be due to conversion losses going from text to screen to jpeg. Screenshot programs like snip are limited by the resolution of the computer screen whilst jpeg applies a compression algorithm that's optimised for photographic images rather than text. PNG is more suitable for graphics and text, and BMP better again. It's unlikely a digital photo-frame supports TIFF or PS.

Best results are from programs that go direct from text to a lossless image format. PS (Postscript) is often used for phototypesetting, which allows much higher resolutions than computer screens. I was going to recommend one but when I tested it, the stupid thing converts black text on white paper to black on black. So far I can't fix it.

Further to my PM, which I don’t think you have yet read

I just remembered that I had this tucked away for a use similar to yours:

.

It’s classed as a ‘Digital Photo Frame’ but it’s probably the best spec’d one I have seen.

Not sure if they are still available, but you might try Amazon or ebay

Edit: __ this appears to be their latest version, and even better !

Windows 10 –

1. Have image on screen
2. Right click on mouse
3. Click "Take a screen shot"
4. Frame what you want to have as a picture file
5. Enter
6. Save to your downloads library

You now have a .PNG file which can be converted to a .JPG file in Paint.

JA

You need to open an imaging programe, go to File –> New from Clipboard.

Then save as a JPEG.

Photo frames… why is a photo frame of any given size more expensive than an android tablet?

Thank you for that Neil, everyday a learning day.
