You can convert objects, including text, to bitmap images using the Convert to Image command on the Object menu. This opens the Convert to Image dialog box.
You can specify the new bitmap image's resolution and color depth. The resolution determines the number of pixels per inch in the image. The color depth determines the maximum number of colors in the image.
The higher the resolution and the greater the color depth, the larger the file size of a bitmap image.
Bitmap images that are converted from objects are always square or rectangular. For example, if you convert an ellipse to a bitmap image, the resulting image is rectangular. The portion of the bitmap image that is not part of the original object is set to white. For an ellipse, this is the portion of the bitmap image that is outside the ellipse.
