[ILL-L] CONVERTING FILES

[Kareen Turner]

This works; we've been doing electronic database articles like this for several weeks.  We actually are doing some microforms too.  We print to ILLiad file and import from Odyssey or Ariel depending on borrowing library's preference for tiff files.  For emails, we just save to file and then open email to attach.  Kareen


1. Print to MDI using the MS Office Document Image Writer.
2. Document will open in MDI automatically.
3. Select Save As and save to tiff format. This will create a multi-page
tiff that retains color and can be imported into Ariel or Odyssey.
