JPEG Image (.jpg)
JPEG is a compressed file format for images. Its strengths are small file sizes and speed. The trade- off for these advantages, though, is reduced image quality. Since each time an image is compressed with JPEG it loses a little of the image data, avoid compressing a file with JPEG more than once. JPEG is an appropriate file format for an image that will be used on the Web or on multiple platforms.

■the selection area contains only text

The PCX file format is for images used in Windows programs such as PC Paintbrush and Paint.
Rich Text File (.rtf)
The Rich Text File file format is used with the Save As Whole Page... command to create an RTF file of a page that contains text or text and pictures. The formatting of text in an RTF file can usually be interpreted by other programs.
Windows Metafile (.wmf)
