Save WordArt as an Image using Word - 4/20/2006 20:59:02   
Office XP - Save your WordArt as an image for use on a website.

Am using the term WordArt to cover anything created via the Drawing Toolbar.

This assumes you have created WordArt in FrontPage, but will work just the same for WordArt created in Word or Publisher etc.

In FrontPage design view, copy (or cut) your WordArt.

Go to Word and use Edit > Paste Special and select Picture (PNG)

Copy the picture from Word and paste into FrontPage. After pasting select the down arrow on the Smart Tag and choose "Paste as an Image Tag".

Save the page. If needed use the 'Save Embedded Files' window (should appear on save ) to rename your image, change the folder it is stored in and change the picture file type.

You should now have an image you can use on your website in place of WordArt. You can right click on the image in FrontPage design view and go to 'Picture Properties'. In 'Appearance' check 'Specify Size' and in 'General' check 'Text' and type in your alternative text.

Have attached a couple of screenshots.

A bit more...

If you have PowerPoint, you can paste the WordArt into that, right click on it, and select 'Save as Picture'. Make sure you also select the correct file type - use the down arrow to the right of the 'Save as type' field.

Excel charts, or even a copy of a spreadsheet data can be saved as an image as well.

For a range of cells - in Excel highlight the cells you want to copy. Select 'copy' and paste this into Word via 'Paste Special' - select 'Picture(Windows Metafile)' or 'Picture(Enhanced Metafile)'.

For a chart you should be able to select the chart and copy it directly into FrontPage - it will paste as an image.
