    How can I convert a jpg file in to a word or pdf file using InfranView software?

    I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do here.
    Microsoft Word will import jpg files directly (Insert->Picture->From File), so there is no need to even involve (the awesome) Irfanview.
    (Please consider sending a little cash to Irfan--he is a really neat guy in Bosnia, and a great programmer.)

    Once the image is in Word, you can save it in .doc format, or by installing a virtual printer, such as PDFCreator you can "print" the file (from either Word or Irfanview) as a pdf.
    Hope this helps,

    1. Install PrimoPDF, a printer driver you can use from within ANY program:
      Free PDF Creator - Convert to PDF from Any File You Can Print - PrimoPDF
    2. Open your picture in IrfanView
    3. File > Print
    4. Select PrimoPDF from the Printer options at the top
    5. Print!

    Side effect of this is you now have the ability to create a PDF from any program, since it's a printer driver.
