Hi Peter. Sorry to tell you this is not that easy using the traditional Graphic Programs...believe me, I know....I do this all the time to make the lessons for my online lessons....tho, I'm not using Word since my lessons are on web pages. I'm using FrontPage, but the process you describe is the same....tho I have found that Photoshop is really pretty fast and easy for doing this (as opposed to Paint)....but there are some other small programs that do it pretty much all in one step...there's One called Print Key that let's you capture just a segment of your screen when you do the screenshot....it's pretty cool You can find Print Key here. There's a 30-day free trial version, so you can check it out...and if you choose to buy it, it's only $19.95: http://www.geocities.com/~gigaman/ Or...if you want to stick with Photoshop or something you already have, here's a little tutorial I wrote on resizing graphics: http://www.personal-computer-tutor.com/resizegraphics.htm Good luck Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop www.personal-computer-tutor.com Author/Teacher ~ MS Office EBooks/Classes www.personal-computer-tutor.com/services.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of cadcamcenter Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 2:28 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] icons toolbars Hi everyone, (sorry if this is a duplicate posting, trying to figure out how to post) I'm trying to produce some notes for students using MS Word where I have to insert text windows and paste graphics such as a screen-shot toolbars (example the draw toolbar in MS Word) and icons (example, the icon representing "format paint" represented by a picture of a paintbrush) For screenshot, I have learned to use Alternate+PrintScreen, followed by Paste). However, to get the toolbars and/or the small icon, I had to use Alt-PrnScrn, then paste into a draw program such as Paint or Photoshop, then erase and/or trim the unwanted part. This is proving to be very cumbersome plus hard to control the size and resolution. Does anyone know how to copy and paste toolbars and/or icons into WORD documents Thanks a million Peter ************************************************************* PLEASE READ!!!!
