Types de fichiers graphiques
reconnus par Word (on French language copies) |
| What
are .doc, .txt, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .rtf, .htm/html, .ppt, .zip and .exe
files? |
IBM
compatible machines have a convention of associating a type of file with
a 3 letter extension (.XXX)
.doc - Word document
.txt - ascii text or plain
text file
.jpg - is a compressed
image format using 24-bit (16million) colour(s) for true to life photos.
.bmp is the standard Windows
bitmap image format.
.gif is an image format
used on the Internet for logos etc. with 256 colours or less.
.rtf stands for Rich Text
Format and is used to keep formating when transferring between programmes
or computer systems that is compatible with most word processors under
DOS, Windows and on MAC's.
.htm/html is the extension
of regular Web pages associated to web browsers.
.ppt is the extension
for a Power Point presentation.
.zip is the extension
for a compressed file format common on IBM compatibles and used extensively
on the Internet to minimise a file(s) that can be sent from point to point.
.exe is the extension
for an executable program - rather than a file that contains information
- an .exe treats information. WinWord.exe is the central programme of MSWord. |
| Which
are the basic file types that we use on the Internet? |
Images:
.gif, .jpg
Video: .avi, .mov
Text: htm/html

| How
can we change file formats? (In word processors and graphics programs) |
Open

as in another format.
