<RANT> I've only done it to stick in user manuals etc, but on my current (work) machine I have to stick it in paint first anyway, because if I stick it straight in word, it takes the last 5 or so RHS pixels and sticks them on the LHS of the picture. Why? @#$% knows but I know if it was a linux box I could work it out - in windows I just shrug and say "at least there's a work around" :p My new work around is to install the Gimp and use it to capture, at least then I can save it to a small format like jpeg if I don't need too much detail. Barney PS. God I wish I could use linux on my workstation here, if not for cygwin/vim/gimp I'd go (completely) mad. PPS. I just tried it and it doesn't have the problem any more... maybe it was a different machine? bah! who cares. </RANT> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
