ACK. I *HATED* when people did this. Taking a screenshot, a perfectly normal graphics file and shoving it into a word document! Is it so hard for people to paste it into Paint and save it as a BMP ? then use IE to convert it to JPG? as for how to do this on linux it really depends on what desktop your using. for example, I use afterstep 1.6. and at the top left of each window there are 2 buttons, the one on the left side is a "next window" button for swapping windows(I never use it except on accident), the one on the right has several useful options: Take a windowshot(captures current window only) take a screenshot(captures full screen) move - to desk #0 - to desk #1 - to desk #2 - to desk #3 resize to foreground to background Maximize 100% Maximize 80% kill quit redraw real handy set of tools, though I only use the windowshot/screenshot and kill features. as another noted you can use xwd to do this(this is what afterstep calls to do the screenshot). then open up gimp or something to convert it to your favorite file format. if your in KDE, there used to be an app called kscreenshot I think it was which was specifically designed for screenshots. Also "xv" has a screenshot feature which can automatically save in various formats. I think gimp itself even has a screenshot feature. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
