Word Art as background picture

[Mark Flynn]

Using WordArt to create " TOP SECRET" , and rotated 35 degrees. I want to
use TOP SECRET as a background picture, then write a headline over it.
Using Page Properties > Background tab > Background picture - I don't see
any way to select a .doc file. And, in Word, I don't see any option for
saving WordArt as a gif, .jpg .bmp file.
Is there a way to do this?
I'm using FP 2k, Word 2k, Win 2k pro, Publisher 2k
Thanks, Mark Flynn

Copy the WordArt to the clip board - Alt+PrtSc
Paste into a graphics program
Crop the picture
Save As a gif or jpg (choice depends on number of colours used: <256 colours
use a gif).
Save to a folder outside the web.
Open FrontPage and the web, and File->Import the image into the web.
Apply as background.

OK, thanks. I didn't think of using "print screen" to transfer the image,
and then save it as a .jpg file.
