Converting an .ICO file -> resolved

This may be a bit off topic but maybe not.. :bigyello:

I have this icon I use in my form. I want to convert into a file format that I can include into Word. I am using word to create the documentation and would like it on the cover page..

Any tips are greatly appreciated. :):):)

Thanks :wave:

try icon.toBitMap

does that help?

You want to do it using VB? I would suppose that loading a picture box with the icon and exporting with Image.Save().

Otherwise, you can use any available image converter.

No, I just want to insert it into Word. What image converter would you suggest? I have never used one before..

If you want to just insert it into Word, you can open the icon file with VS. I think that PainShop Pro does image conversion in single or batch mode.

This is the simplest, free-est and just best little image converter I've ever met.
It does quite a lot of formats, though I'm not sure if it does .ICO.

Nope, no ICO supprt (Atleast no listed on their web site)..

NTG, I looked in VS a little, did not see I would conert the image and save it.. I will keep looking some more though..

VS doesn't convert the ICO files, but you can open them there then copy-paste to word.
