Save as Picture DISTORTS FONTS - MS Pub 2002

[Stuart F.]

I use Pub 2002 to create compositions that I save as .jpg's for my website,
and email headers. The compositions consist of "Digital images (.tiff) +
WordArt + Shapes (with fills) + Text Blocks". I group them together, or do a
Select All then use "Save as Picture" to save the composition as a .jpg .
When I reopen the saved .jpg I find that the text that was added as a Text
Block becomes fuzzy / blurry. The images, WordArt, and Shapes all remain
clear. It doesn't matter what program I open the .jpg with the Text that
was added as a Text Block is reproduced poorly. I have tried "Selecting
All", then cutting and pasting into other programs using different formats
such as the .png, .wmf, .emf, .mix, etc.,etc,,, nothing works to make the
Text reproduce clearly,,, any suggestions would be appreciated ! Thank You

Hi, Stuart -

To make quick "signs" that I show as a Powerpoint loop on a flat screen, I
use Publisher about half the time. It is quick. The text does come out ,erm,
NOT crisp. To improve the resolution somewhat, I have found that if I make
the whole "sign" really big, and then plug it into any photo program to
resize there and save it as a jpg, it comes out a bit better.

It works better to apply text in the photo program. (I often copy text I
have typed in Publisher and paste it into the photo program text editor --
and do "surgery" on it there!)
