GIF Image (.gif)
GIF is a compressed file format suitable for an
image that will be used on the Web or on multiple
platforms.
JPEG Image (.jpg)
JPEG is a compressed file format for images. Its
strengths are small file sizes and speed. The trade-
off for these advantages, though, is reduced
image quality. Since each time an image is
compressed with JPEG it loses a little of the image
data, avoid compressing a file with JPEG more
than once. JPEG is an appropriate file format for
an image that will be used on the Web or on
multiple platforms.

file when:
the selection area contains only text
the output type is applied

you want the text converted to editable,
unformatted, ASCII text

and can be any resolution. TIFF image files can be
used on multiple platforms.
TIFF Compressed (.tif)

Bitmap (raster)
PackBits compression. All other output types are
compressed with LZW compression.
PCX Image (.pcx)
The PCX file format is for images used in Windows
programs such as PC Paintbrush and Paint.
Rich Text File (.rtf)
The Rich Text File file format is used with the
command to create an RTF file of a
As Whole Page...
page that contains text or text and pictures. The
formatting of text in an RTF file can usually be
interpreted by other programs.
Windows Metafile (.wmf)
The Microsoft Windows Metafile file format is
used for scalable (vector) images in Windows
programs. The .wmf file format is available for
drawings when the
Black & White Scalable (vector)
output type is applied to a selection area that
contains a drawing.
