You don't need to do all of this! The easiest thing to do is bring up the document in Word, and hit Alt-PrintScreen to send the screen to the clibboard. Now you just paste it in your graphics program (if you don't have a better one than use "Imaging for Windows" which is on the Accessories menu of recent versions of Windows). Crop/resize however you like, or combine several screens-worth of capture into one image. Nothing to buy, and they don't need Adobe to read it. They can see it right on your webpage. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
