You can use the figure window's File->Save As... menu option. Change the "Save 
As Type:" dropdown selection to "all files" and then type the name of the file 
to save to in the "File name:"   field. The extension you give for the 
filename will control the kind of file created (jpg, emf, png, eps, ... )

There's also a File -> Export  menu option on the figure window which lets you 
do the same kind of thing

Also see the help for the   print   and/or   saveas   commands
