I have found that doing a Print Screen like this gives me a bitmap of
the current
Display (the whole visible desktop).  To dump my View (or char mode)
screens into
mail or Word, It is better to highlight the display portion you wish
and Edit|Copy that
into the clipboard.  The copy will use the rwin normal and line
drawing fonts that come with
Reflection.  Keep this in mind if you paste this into e-mail or create
it as a Word document
without embedding fonts - if your recipient does not have Reflection,
the line drawing in the
Recipient's copy will be garbage and the text will probably convert to
a proportional font.  When
pasting this into your screen copy into Word, (if using it's normal
portrait letter default page
settings) change the font size to 8 to get it to fit across the page.

I have converted some old documentation that used 'print
screen'/bitmap screen dumps to this
method and shrunk (or is it shrank?) it's size by about  80%!

I have done this on Reflection 5.x versions using Windows 95 and Word
95 & 97.
Your mileage may vary.

Gee, all I do is press the Print Screen key (you know that pesky
little key on
 the top of your keyboard to the right of F12?),and then I do an EDIT
PASTE
 into my MS Word document or an Exchange e-mail.  Of course, I'm
running
 Reflection on Windows 3.1.

Hope this helps.
