Re: How does JPEG work?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

But by using the instructions at
http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm, you can get Word to
extract embedded images from the text as JPEGs (or occasionally GIFs). This
is useful when the original image file is not available.

JPEG is an acronym for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", the committee
that
designed a standard for compressing photographic (and other) images. Files
that
use that standard typically have the extension ".jpg" in their names.

None of this is particularly related to Word, except that the Insert >
Picture
command can insert a picture from a .jpg formatted file among many others.
Saving a picture in the .jpg format is done by other programs, mostly
graphic
editors and viewers. Most of them can open a picture in one of the other
formats
and resave it as .jpg format. You already have Windows Paint, which you'll
find
in the Windows Start menu. A popular third-party program is IrfanView,
which you
can download for free from http://www.irfanview.com.
