Ok then do what I mentioned in one my last emails with the print screen key. If it's ok if you save the shot as a bitmap, then fine. If not, IrfanView I mentioned is free. I used it all the time with schematics and the like so I'm sure you can use it anyway. http://irfanview.com/ -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "LarryB" Well after a bit of running around I was able to find out two things. First you are correct the document is protected and you can tell by going to file then document properties then security and it will tell you what is protected. Next in a document that is not all protected you can select an area with the snapshot function then go to print and it will say print graphic and it will print just the area you selected filling the complete paper size. Now if I can just unprotect the document I will be able to print what I need.
