Unfortunately, no. I have the same problem, but the only solution I came up
with is ask the authors of the Word docs to make new screenshots with PSP,
or make them myself - provided I have the necessary soft- and hardware.

(Strange - those who provide me with input for the manuals know the
problem, agree with me that the screenshots embedded in Word are unreadable
when copied into another text, and have PSP installed on their machines so
that they could, in principle, create proper screnshots right from the
start. Yet it happens again and again...)

Ciao,
Kerstin
