Saving a created file as a graphic

[Ed Wood]

Hi all,

I have created a rectangle box and added a graphic and two text boxes to it.
I want to save the final product as a .gif or .jpg file. When I select the
created box and save it, all that is saved as a graphic file is the box
itself, minus the additions I made to the box. How can I save the whole
creation as a graphic file?

Also, how can I remove the dashed lines that surround the text boxes inside
the rectangular box?

Thanks for helping me. Have a good weekend.

Select all the elements, group, then save as an image. What dashed lines? If you are
speaking about the boundaries of the text boxes, they go away when you save.

Mary,

Thanks for your help.

I don't know why I didn't think about using the "select all" button then the
"save as" button to do this. I guess that we really do learn something every
day.

Have a good week-end.

Good point! However, I sometimes feel like my church members think that I am
supposed to (I pastor a small Baptist Church).

But more to the point. I did as Mary suggested, and was able to save the
graphic as a .gif file. But when I saved it, it was saved as a whole page,
and not a small image. Now I cannot open it in MS Publisher, because the open
dialog box will not support opening .gif files.

The only thing that I can think of trying is to open it in something like
Adobe Photoshop, cropping the graphic, then resaving it as a gif file. Does
anyone have a better suggestion?

Regards,

You should still have your .pub file there, which you can open.
