converting multiple tiff files into one

Hello SNOHOMY,

Open the Word file and then click File->Print from the application menu.

Choose TIFF Image Printer 11.0 from the list of printers and then click the Print button.

Enter the location and filename for the TIFF file and then click Save.

Open the JPEG image and click File->Print from the application menu.

Choose TIFF Image Printer 11.0 from the list of printers and then click the Print button.

Enter the same filename, choose TIFF Multipaged (*.tif) and check Append to file, then click Save.

Now open the Excel spreadsheet and click File->Print from the application menu.

Enter the same filename, choose TIFF Multipaged (*.tif) and check Append to file, then click Save.

Now all 3 files are merged together in a single TIFF file.

You can see it in a video



Hope it helps, have a good day

Cannot see tiff Previews in WIndows 10 - Tiff files only

Hi Deepika,

If I convert the tiffs to another format, like jpg, bmp or Dng then it previews fine. But this isn't a solution as I need to edit them in their existing file format before their final stage as Jpegs.

I'm concerned by this, because it's unusual thing to go wrong and suggests a bigger problem elsewhere. I've checked the registry and it's set to preview tif and tiff files. But isn't.
