works to word converter* (open up the works file in ms word)

Tried it...doesn't seem to work. Word just freezes.

 

[anxi80]

yeah, when i replied with that, i overlooked the file size you posted. probably too much for word, and crashed it. my bad for the suggestion, hopefully someone else can pull these images and it works out.

 

[spanky]

perhaps wordperfect would work?

I'll try a few things also.. 15 minute download time as of now.

i have it opened in works, it has all the pictures and everything. it is 85 pages long. i'm converting it to .doc right now but it is taking a long time.

np. still chugging away.

Geesh! I am in the middle of it too...talk about sucking up some CPU converting this thing!

 

[DeviousTrap]

If you need somewhere to upload it let me know. I'd be glad to help out.

 

[SaigonK]

I have plenty of space for it..the thing is if its 85mb in Works format, it will probably be the same or so in Word format
I can also try and convert it to PDF for you...that might work out better....

 

[SaigonK]

chunk...chunk...chunk......

 

[Pepsi90919]

well if you're going to convert it then i'm just going to shut down works.

I installed the converter, and tried to load it into Word.... my rig has been crunching the file for almost 1.5 hours now..

We should use this as a benchmark or something

EDIT: NO DON'T CANCEL IT! I don't think anyone's sure it will actually CONVERT or not, so keep crunching!

I let Word try to convert it...however I cancelled it after about an hour (Actually I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to end word)

 

[gsaldivar]

Right after I posted the last message, Word finished opening the file. It's 80 pages or so.. tons of pics. I've save it in .doc format, I'm going to try to extract the pictures into JPG or something while I have it open.

Send it to me...I can coinvert it to PDF and see if we can make it smaller for him...

 

[The Stigenator]

converting it for you.. its almost done.

edit .. never mind.. .. but its converting.

 

[gsaldivar]

I hope I have enough space on my freebie 1and1 account to host the file...

I'm uploading the converted .doc file to it now. It will take about 30 minutes or so to complete the transfer.

Once you have the converted .doc file, you can extract full-resolution JPEG files from it by following these steps:

1. Open the file in MS Word
2. File menu > Save as Web Page > Web Page (*.htm)
3. Tools menu (at the top of the Save dialog) > Compress Pictures > Resolution "No Change", and turn off "Delete cropped areas of pictures"

Word will take a minute or two to process the file, but you will be left with the full-resolution JPEG images saved in a separate folder.

When you guys get it done...just PM and I'll give you a place to up it to
