I use a program called HyperSnap version 2.79
by Hyperionics - Software by Greg Kochamiak
www.hyperionics.com
This program allows me to take screen pictures of any part of my screen (full
screen, window, or region) and then past it into a word processor. It works
great for documenting screens, because what you see is what you get. I have
also used it to capture screen images and save them out as jpegs.
Hope this helps you

Thanks Charlie. I found the key right where you said.
But what do you get, and how big is the resulting file? When I tried it,
I got the whole screen dumped, with my Office Taskbar and all the
Reflection 'chrome'. It produced some rather iffy dithering when I
printed it on the LJ4, and when saved, made a 1.5mB Word document.
Imagine a document with 20 or 30 of the suckers!
Working at something less than 800x600 in 16-bit colour would reduce
this size, of course, but I don't want to keep changing resolution just
for screendumps; that would be cumbersome.
My long-winded method does at least give a much more manageable 50k
document (actually about 37k per extra screen) so a 20 or 30 screen
document stays feasible.
It also gives output that looks like it could have come off a dumb
terminal, so it doesn't start all the users hankering for a pretty GUI
on an 'expensive' PC... :-)
