How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
**One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

Is there any way to import word document and process like that above?
I have searched about this, and found out 'Jakarta POI' can access to word document but with many restrictions. (I heard it doesn't support word version 2003 and 97)
Can any one please answer this?
Thankx

I'm not really sure that java is the best language to use for this particular project. I haven't looked into writing a standalone application to do this sort of thing, but Microsoft Word has a built in VB editor that allows you to write scripts that will do this very simply, using Word's Document Object Model.
I would imagine the same sort of the thing could be done from a Stand-alone aplication as well, but you might need some libraries for reading the document and obtaining the object with the same model. I would look into Microsoft's .net solutions for this one. You might even be able to work out a solution in C++, C#, or even J# (which I understand is "similar" to java), if you don't know visual basic.
It is possible that there is a library out there that will read a Word Document, and create the appropriate Java object with the same object model, but I don't know where it can be found.
Anyway, if the option is available to you, take a look at Microsoft's .Net. You'll probably have more luck that way. Good Luck!

Pages as Default Word Processor for .doc Microsoft Word (Office) Files

In reading the system topics, there was a nice simple help solution. Find a .doc file. Do a Get Info (CMD-I) on the file and then under the File Options choose Pages, and indicate that this works for all .doc files.
BUT... Wunderkind Apple Engineers who put ease-of-use above everything, that is still about four steps harder than going into the PREFERENCES on either PAGES or Text Edit, or even having a centralized prefs in the System Preferences Panel that lets you pick and choose what APPs run what files.
How about sticking a check box into the APP to change it over? Or is that offending the powers-that-be in Redmond so badly that they might do to Office what they did to Internet Explorer on the Mac?

Dennis:
Lets clarify. In Pages:
File>Preferences
Do you want Pages to be your default reader for:
CHECKBOX - .doc (Word Files)
CHECKBOX - .txt, csv (Text Files)
Do you want Pages to automatically save a Word file of your document:
PULLDOWN: In addition to creating a pages file; (Indicate where page may be placed)
Instead of creating a pages file;
And Yes, for the end-user who is new to Macs or new to computers in general, simplifying the handling of documents to a preference in the System controls would make sense. Then each App wouldn't have to do it, or could modify the central file if say Firefox wanted to be your browser/handler of choice, and asked you if you want it to be the primary control of that kind of content. Why shouldn't Pages be able to ask/set up the program easily so that the user can just get about the business of using the program? Your solution is nice, but it is still at a level that you have to be comfortable with working with files and GET INFO, which, while it doesn't phase you or me, would freak out my technophobic 14 year old daughter or my wife.

App for editing microsoft word documents

I am a PhD student in the area of engineering sciences and I frequently need to write journal articles which are mathematically involved. I am just wondering if there are any word editing apps on iPad which can recognize mathtype equations? I purchased documents to go and it is not very useful to me.. And also, I would like to be able to see .emf type pictures embedded within my word document.. I would also like to accept/reject changes made by others on my documents.. all these, documents to go is not able to do, and this is a real frustration.. anybody know any remedies or apps that can do just what I need? I need the app to be as close to microsoft word as possible..

I work on word and xl files daily. for documents, Pages is fine. It does not do everything Word does, but remember, this is a portable streamed down machine.
i also use docs 2 go from data viz. Its also fine, but for word applications, i usually end up in pages. It just works better for me. docs 2 go is good for me for transferring a set of documents without needing to sync or use i tunes.
For spreadsheets, you can view and do light edits in Numbers, and the dataviz is also functional, but i want to tell you that heavy duty spreadsheet work on an i pad is just not a real fun experience. It will work, but you will be a lot happeir in that world with a larger screen, a mosue, and a real keyboard. The mechanics of moving around a sheet and making cell corrections, especially to formulas, is just a little clunky.
lastly, if you are going to try heavy duty stuff, an external keyboard is a nice thing to have along. the existence of the arrow keys, to me, really help in navigation.

To JDeveloper Tech Team & All: Displaying Microsoft Word Doc file in JDeveloper

Is there any way, we can display a Microsoft Word Document file in JDeveloper ? I have JDeveloper 3.2.2 on my computer running Windows NT version 4.0 (SP 6). I appreciate your immediate responce. Thanks.

In theory, you can display a DOC file in JDeveloper - given the correct JavaBean capable of reading DOC files and dispplaying it - then it could be hooked
into JDeveloper as an Addin.
But, wouldn't it be easier to display it in MS Word / other Doc Viewer?
If DOC files are part of your development,
then you can put a quick Invocation to Word / other tool in your JDeveloper Tools menu by editing the [JDev]\bin\tools.cfg file - See help for more info.
I hope this helps,
if not, please clarify further.

How can I restore my Microsoft Word Documents which became Unix Executable Files after my Macbook Pro Crashed?

After my MacBook Pro suddenly crashed, we had Best Buy's Geek Squad attempt to save the files. According to them, they were successful in doing so and put all of the saved files in a folder on my desktop which they labeled "Backup". The problem is, all of the files are in a Unix Executable format. When you double click on any of them, they pull up the terminal and that's it. After researching the issue and trying to grasp what was going on, I learned that you can open these files in Text Edit and sometimes find the file extension (.png .jpeg .amr .qt) that belongs at the end of the filename in order for it to be pulled up. In doing this, I had some success restoring some photos, audio files, and videos. However, no luck at all in restoring any of my Microsoft Word documents or even finding out which Unix Executables are Word documents. I've even tried to add .docx to various files just to see if I would luck out. Nope . Any help would be SO SO greatly appreciated!!!

Just to make sure, your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements?
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Yes, Lion does require that you have Snow Leopard installed so you have access to the Mac App Store.
And you do need to be running v10.6.8 in order to upgrade to Lion > http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
When you verified the startup disk using Disk Utility, what were the results?
Wouldn't hurt to do that again. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab. Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions).
If the startup disk needs repairing, boot from your install disk to make repairs > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
While you have the DU window open, check Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there is a minimum of 15% free disk space.

I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

Convert 1 single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple pdf files

I am a windows 7 users. I have a single microsoft word document which contain 1500 pages. These 1500 pages are seperated by sections breaks in the microsoft word. I am trying to convert this word document to multiple pdf files seperated by the section breaks in the Microsoft word. How can I convert the single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple seperate pdf files?

Acrobat (Adobe PDF Printer and PDFMaker ) doesn't recognize the Section breaks. It never has as far as I am aware. The easiest thing to do is to manually break up a copy of the MS Word Document into the Sections you need and then create the PDFs from those MS Word documents.

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.
