    A doc file is a text file. A jpeg is an image file.

    Unless you mean you have an image inside the doc file you want to extract...?

    Yes, scan it, or you could make it into a pdf using some converters.

    If you don't have a scanner, email the doc to someone who has.

    You could always take a screen shot of the thing if it fits into just one page and copy it into paint or something...

    You can use PDFCreator to 'print' to a jpeg should you so wish.

    Hold down Alt and press "Print sc" (top right). Then open ms paint or whatever and hit paste. You will have to cut out the document itself, because you'll have a screenshot of MS word if you use this method.

    Why do you want a jpeg of a document?

    Just open the doc file & choose "Edit" "Select All" then "Copy"

    Then open MS Paint & paste it in. Save the MS Paint file as a JPG

    two ways - if you have microsoft office 2003 or later you can print the document to microsoft documant imaging, there is an option in the printer to change the format to .tif ,which you can then open in most graphical apps and save as a .jpg


    other way is to get http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ it installs a printer , and when you print to it you get either PDF's or JPG's or TIFF's or several other file formats.

    why oh why JPG - if there are few graphics PNG or TIFF would be crisper and smaller formats .

    If you are trying to stop people extracting data from it - the microsoft documant imaging printer thingy links directly to microsofts OCR program which includes an option to send text to word so jpeg only slows them down by about 20 seconds - sometimes it preserves tables and formatting.
    Pdfcreator allows you to creat pdf's which disallow printing ( and Acrobat reader and Foxit respect this )
