atw: Re: Custom Size PDF Conversion

I'm not sure how to check the DPI.  I just capture a screen, crop it and paste 
it into PowerPoint.  I'd like to learn if anyone can tell me - I am very 
graphics naïve.

I have resolved the problem for now by printing to the PDF printer and making a 
file instead of using the Convert to PDF option on the menu - seems to have 
worked perfectly!

Check the resolution of the graphics you have loaded. Need to be at least 150 
dpi for decent printout.
