Subject:Word Graphics on the Intranet From:"Nurre, Vickie" <VNurre -at- AEGONUSA -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 18 Nov 1998 09:41:20 -0600
I have Word documents with screen shots that were originally either BMP or
JPEG. We want to start putting this documentation on an Intranet site. I
understand that graphics need to be either JPEG or GIF formats for the
Intranet/Internet.
Can anyone confirm the following:
1) Is there anyway in Word to determine whether the graphic was originally a
BMP or JPEG graphic?
2) That in fact, I will need to recapture my screen shots as a JPEG or GIF
graphic. Or will it matter that some of the graphics were originally a BMP
format?
