Open the document and use alt + Prt-Scn to capture it as an image.



Then set that image as your screensaver the way you would any other image.

Last I looked their were 2 versions.
Freeware offering limited editing, direct print and save anywhere in many formats.
A version at a modist price that does the above and more, much more.

Screensavers are really just relics from the days when most home computer monitors were made using cathode ray tubes. The purpose being that a static image, opened for an extended period of time, would "burn" into the screen permanently. The screensaver is an animation, programmed to activate when the computer is not being used but is still powered on.

I think you want to know how to convert a document into an image to use as your desktop wallpaper.

Or, maybe not?
