Subject:  Re: [vocalist] inserting musical scores in Microsoft Word


Does the package in which you created the score enable you to save it in a
graphic format, e.g., GIF or JPEG? If so, you can insert it into the Word
document as a graphic object.

Alternately, if you can save the score as a PDF (Adobe Acrobat format),
and you have Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to convert the PDF to a
graphic that you can then insert into Word. The thing then is to save each
individual page of the score as a separate PDF file to make it easier to
do the conversion as a 1:1 process (1 PDF -> 1 GIF or JPEG.

At the very worst, you could print a hardcopy of the score from the music
software, then scan the hardcopy into a high-resolution (300 dpi) JPEG
file, and then insert that graphic into the Word file. This is the crudest
approach, but it may be your only option if your music software won't let
you save the score in anything but its own proprietary format.
