Possible to convert grouped drawing object to JPG file?

[Rob Kisler]

As a hobby I create custom CD artwork in WORD 2000 on a 500Mhz PC running XP
Professional.

I end up with numerous text boxes, drawing objects, word art, clip art,
pictures, etc. and I would like to select all objects on the page, group
them and then somehow convert this grouped object into a JPG file with as
little loss of detail as possible.

Anyone know of a reasonably priced (i.e. cheap) piece of software that can
accomplish this? I've tried this with Ulead PhotoImpact SE but the JPG I
end up with moves things around unexpectedly and loses quite a bit of
detail, so what I end up with doesn't really resemble the original.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the MS Windows application - MS Paint? Not sure if you will
lose too much detail or not -- but worth a try.

Another good graphics program is PaintShopPro(Jasc Software) -- which I
believe you can download a free trial version -- but the full blown app is
under $100. We've used it for years -- and like what it can do.

Thanks Kate G.!

Tried a quick test with MS Paint and I believe it will do exactly what I'm
after with very little loss of detail. And for the right price too!

Appreciate the help.

Thanks again.

or GIFs, as appropriate.
