These are different file formats. jpeg uses a lossy compression algorithm. Tiff can use a lossless algorithm (the compression algorithithm can be defined for each image).
TIFF is a flexible, adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, by including the header tags (size, definition, image-data arrangement, applied image compression) defining the image's geometry. For example, a TIFF file can be a container holding compressed (lossy) JPEG and (lossless) PackBits compressed images. A TIFF file also can include a vector-based Clipping path (outlines, croppings, image frames). The ability to store image data in a lossless format makes a TIFF file a useful image archive, because, unlike standard JPEG files, a TIFF file using lossless compression (or none) may be edited and re-saved without losing image quality. This is not the case when using the TIFF as a container holding compressed JPEG. Other TIFF options are layers and pages, neither are supported by JPEG.

Normally TIFF has a larger size, but there are also exceptions. It depends on the compression applied to the image. Both TIFF and JPEG can compress images. The compression ration is determined by the compression options (mostly quality counts).

Besides that TIFF is a very complex format that can encapsulate also JPEG.

Which type of image file format typically produces a large file size a JPEG file or TIFF file?

Tiffs typically produce larger files because their compression format maintains all the image data. Jpegs are "lossy," meaning their compression format works by discarding some of the data, reducing the number of colors stored in the image.

How do you convert a word processor file into JPEG bmp or gif format?

You can make a screenshot of the window as described in the related question. Another possibility would be to print to an image format like TIFF. I am not sure if there is a TIFF printer driver out there, but for sure there is a Microsoft Image Writer. It saves into a Microsoft image format that can be later converted to TIFF.
