Change TIFF to JPG?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Using WinXP Pro.
Does anyone know how I can change TIFF files to JPG files with the software
that comes with XP Pro and XP Office Pro?

I recently upgraded from ME to XP Pro. Reinstalled my Canon n1240u flatbed
scanner. The application that now comes up is Microsoft Office Document
Scanning. The only Save As option is the TIFF format. The only viewing
option is Microsoft Office Document Imaging. I need to get these new TIFF
files into JPG format. The problem is that Microsoft Photo Editor "can't
open file" for TIFF files.

Thanks,

When you run Office setup or access Office in Add/Remove Programs, you get
a screen asking if you want to remove, repair or add/remove components.
Choose add/remove components. Following along with the screens, check the
subcategories under each Office program, Office Tools and the "Shared"
category. If the filters are installed, you'll see the drive icon.
Otherwise, you'll see a drive icon with a 1 or a red X on it.

Would urge you to give Irfanview a try regardless of how you fix this. It's
a very handy little graphics viewing program to have. Quite powerful for
its size, has a ton of plugins for various multimedia file types and (best
of all) it's free.

Additional comment: TIF files can be an odd bunch. There is no single
standard and can vary slightly. It's not unheard of to run into
compatibility problems between programs when working with TIF files.
