    I've been assigned to do two pages for our yearbook. Pages have to be filled with collages of photos taken from the past 2 years of schooling. Initially I thought this would be no problem since I could just copy and paste photos to my NeoOffice (I don't have MsOffice), and then print and submit to our school editor.

    But then we've just been informed that we now have to submit in jpg format. I've gone through my NeoOffice, and there is no "save as jpg" function. Can anyone help?

    Save it or print it as pdf so you can open it in PhotoShop then save it as jpeg. If you don't have PhotoShop, use any computer that has one.

    Thank you! So, I will export (from NeoOffice) to pdf file and then save it as jpeg in Preview. Would you know if the quality of the pictures deteriorate from the file conversions?

    It won't. All depends on how & where will you open it. With regards to resolution & color mode, 300dpi/cmyk mode is intended for print resolution, 72dpi/rgb mode is intended for screen resolution.
