Whatever software you want to use, that picture is in the wrong format. Word to the rescue!

If, for example, you just removed the pink highlights from the boss’ receipts in Photoshop so they wouldn’t appear blacked-out when you fax them with his expense reports (are you a star, or what?), but now you need to insert them into something that only accepts JPG (okay, I can’t come up with a reason why you would need to do that…just go with it), you can solve it with Word.

Insert your PDF into Word (Insert…Picture from file)

Right click and choose “Save as Picture…”

In the “Format” drop down box, choose “JPG”

Voilà!

Convert A Scanned File to an editable Word doc

Steps

• 1. Scan the page you want to convert into a Microsoft Word document.

• 4. Go to “Start->Programs->Microsoft Office Tools->Microsoft Office Document Imaging”
• 5. Go to “File->Open” and open your scanned document that has been saved in *.TIFF format.
