Community Q&A

I already used the snipping tool and everything went well, except the lines under the words. How can I get rid of them?

Community Answer

If you mean the lines that indicate spelling or grammar errors, all you have to do is click "Review" in the top menu and select "Spelling and Grammar". Then click through, changing or ignoring the errors as you please. The lines should disappear as you fix everything.

If you choose to use an online converter, keep in mind that the service will be able to see the document, therefore you'll want to avoid online converters if the document is sensitive.

Converting your document to a JPEG may cause your file to lose quality. This shouldn't be an issue unless your Word document is largely visual, and even then you shouldn't notice too much of a difference.
