Universal
Document Converter
You’ve heard
of PDF files, right? You may have even tried PrimoPDF,
which converts your MS Word documents into PDFs. Well, there’s
now an easier way to convert your files into any format you'd like.
Let's take a look!
What I have for
you today is a nifty little plug-in called the Universal Document
Converter (you can download it right here).
So, what's it do? Well, it converts in the same way your computer
prints. You'll find directions below on how to use it once you have
it installed. Now, there are several different programs you can convert
(you can even do Web pages), but for my example today, I’m going
to use Microsoft Word.
1.) First, simply
type out your document (or open one that's already put together).
2.) If you’re
using Office 2007, press the Office button or click
on the File menu if you’re using an earlier
version.
3.) Click Print
and then select Universal Document Converter as the
printer you’re going to use.
4.) Next, click
Properties and from the drop down menu, select the file type
you'd like to convert over to.
5.) Click
OK and then print it. Your document will then convert to
the file type you chose. How cool is that?!
Note:
When you’re converting a Web page to a JPEG image, you can do
the same thing as above, but make sure you choose the bottom option
labeled "Web page to JPEG" in the Preferences
box (instead of Properties). Other than that, go on and enjoy your
easy conversions!
