I want to save a shape with text as a picture

I am using Word for Mac. I want to combine images with text and save it all together as a picture or jpeg file. I am using a shape and inserted the images and added the text. I know I have done this before but I can't remember what I did. I thought it had to do with how the shape is formatted, but I have tried all the options and the option to "save as picture" is never available. I also tried inserting shapes and texts together in a text box. I tried grouping everything. I hope one of you brilliant people can help! Thanks.

Use the screenshot tool CMD+SHIFT+4. TinkerTool allows you to select the screenshot format.

Thank you baltwo. I have tried that but the resolution of the screen shot is not usually high enough to make a good quality image. I'm not familiar with TinkerTool - I'll check that out. Thank you.

Really? I've never had an issue with resolution.

You could try a detour via a PDF document and Preview:

In Word use "File > Print" and press the "PDF" button in the lower left corner. Then select "Open in Preview". This will open your image in Preview. There you can crop it and export the cropped image as a png file or a jpeg using "File > Export". Select a different format in the "Format" pop-up menu:
