Printing a pix imbedded Word document at walmart.com???

[airduct]

hello folks,

I would like to print a picture imbedded word document on photo paper at walmart's digital printing booth. the booths only take jpeg so I was wondering if I can save a word document or (open office's drawing document) in a jpeg format for walmart to print to their 8x11 photo paper (i think it costs $2.00 a page or something). is there anyway to do this? via photoshop? or other suggested software? i am currently printing out the pages via inkjet, but it is costly, time consuming, and not very good quality. thanks for any suggestions.

Right-click the picture, CTRL C to copy to clipboard, paste into image-editing program of choice and save as JPG. That work for you?

I'm assuming there is text in the document that you want printed along with the picture(s)? Set your resolution high enough to fit the whole thing on the screen at 100%, then alt-printscreen (then paste it into photoshop and convert to JPEG). The text might suck when you convert it to JPEG though. If you can't set your resolution high enough to do it, find someone who can.

You could also use something like PDFCreator, and save as a JPEG instead of a PDF. For printing it out, though, you'd want to have the resolution way higher than the default 150dpi (changeable under Options).

thanks guys,

yes, the word document will have pix and text, so i want them both to be printed out on good paper and from a good printer. i'll give the photoshop and pdf sw a try. thanks again for the assist.

I take it you do not have a photo printer yourself. Why not try Kinko's ?
I'm sure they could print any document on any media with no change or modification. Put the word document on floppy or cd or pen drive. I don't see how they can charge much for one 8 X 10 photo.

Edit: I just noticed you said "the papers". If this is ongoing, may I suggest one of the newer inkjets. I use a Canon I850 (4 color) that prints 8 X 10 photos in just over a minute , and the most expensive part is the Kodak paper ($39 for 100 sheets).
