EPS files are huge. Even if the pdf conversion compresses the image,

Also, there's a pluging for the Rev IDE to take screenshots... cool!
:D
I normally use Snapz PRO... it's amazing, can even record movies of the
screen ideal for tutorials, like chipp layout manager tutorial.

Thank you, Bob. I appreciate your kind offer, and will take you up on it.
I am experimenting.
Hope to have something to share with you by the end of the weekend.

Thanks, Mark.
I am using the OS X print to PDF commands to turn the Word document into a
PDF.
So far there have been three suggestions of JPG.
I'm experimenting.

Thanks, Marty.
I'm using Snapz Pro X, and it is wonderful - just does the job.
Getting screen shots from a PC will be an issue down the road.
There have been some good suggestions, I'm experimenting.
Thank you again.

I have found png files to be most stable especially in cross platform
situations.

Tom,
Thank you for the advice.
I have never worked with png files. I understand that they are like a "super

Paul,
One piece of advise on resizing: it matters a lot where you do the
resizing. For example, resizing images in Word will give you very bad
results, but most graphic applications will do smooth scaling.

Yes, AFAIK PNGs are bitmaps.
I guess one important consideration (that you may have explained first-up
but which I have long since forgotten) is whether you need to display
these online or print them out.

All screenshot formats will be bitmaps, becaus
Yes, I learned long ago to do the scaling in the image-capture program rather
than in Word. Word can really turn things to mush.

Paul,
I had better reduciton results with the png files than with the jpg
files. Less blocky patterns when reduced. Also if you know what your
finished desired size is then run the file through an external app like
Photoshop for file size reduction. Rev is not that great at doing the
reductions

Word has lots of weird.
Sometimes turning on fractional widths helps, sometimes it hurts - only
experimenting can tell for sure.

Thomas,
Excellent advice!
Suggestions are coming in faster than I can test them - especially with a
little business to run on the side.
I am still leery of bitmaps for the work I'm doing, but your suggestions and
experience were reassuring.
Thank you.
