Microsoft Word is one of the most popular word processing applications on the planet. It is widely used in homes, businesses and government offices. It has many features that greatly simplify the process of creating documents of all sorts. One of the features is the drawing toolbar. Using the drawing toolbar, users can create their own shapes and graphics. But one drawback of this feature is that you cannot directly save the resulting image as a JPG (or JPEG) for use in another program. Fortunately, there is a way around this.
