Converting a Word document to a JPEG file allows you to insert the document into any place where you would normally place a picture, for example: documents, web pages, PowerPoint presentations, and spreadsheets. A document formatted as a JPEG file also allows you to share the file with others while protecting its contents; users can view the document but will not be able to edit it using a word processing program. You can convert a Word document using Adobe Photoshop by first changing it into a PDF file.
