Saving graphics in Microsoft Publisher 2007

[Elenora]

Bonjour,

I created a logo in Microsoft Publisher 2007 which I want to use on my web
site.
I saved the file as a MP2007 and also "saved as" a jpeg file.

Now, when I open the jpeg file, the graphic is not crisp etc. is there a
special way of saving the file so as to receive the same results as saving
the file as MP2007 file.?

Thanking you in advance,

Elenora

===============================
Maybe saving as .png would work better.

Thank you John!!!

I went ahead and saved the file in png, and it worked like a charm, and
looks a million times better!!!

Since we are talking, do you also know which is the better dpi to save it
in, and why ?

Thanks for your time

You're welcome.

The dialog that appears when you click
the "Change Resolution" button offers
suggested choices.

Web (96 dpi)

Standard Printing (150 dpi)

High Quality Printing or Commercial
Press (300 dpi)

For archival purposes...saving at 300
dpi might be a good idea because you
could always reduce it if necessary.

I think the 96 dpi recommendation for
the web is to insure smaller file sizes
that will load faster.

Bottom line...trial and error is usually
the best way to be discover what looks
acceptable in a given situation.

It's also because the majority of monitors are ~96ppi, so any higher
resolution wouldn't give better quality, just increase the physical size
of the image on the screen. If the image is the right size in Publisher,
then exporting it at any higher resolution would be a waste of pixels
(and time when the image is imported into a web page, as it would have
to be sized back down).

Hey Ed...

That's a good point...

Thanks.
