A jpeg is a graphic, so it cannot be converted to a Word format. Even if it is a jpeg of some text, it is still a graphic, so that text will not be converted into text in a Word document. You can either insert the whole jpeg into the Word document or, if there is text you want in it, print the jpeg and use a scanner to scan the text into a text format.
