Hmm, I personally like the idea of putting graphics inline. It makes the
document much easier to scan, and makes it more visually compelling. I've
used this method in the past, with positive results.
If you're using a powerful design app like QuarkXPress, then fixing any line
spacing issues is a snap.
Snagit makes taking the screen captures a snap as well.
