    Resolved Converting an .ICO file -> resolved

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

    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

    Re: Converting an .ICO file

    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..

    Re: Converting an .ICO file

    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.

    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.
