Re: Windows Screen Captures

This comes under the heading of slap myself on the forehead and say "Why
didn't I think of this myself?"  In all honesty, I did try to do this in
one of my paint programs with no success. For some reasons the clipboard
image would not import (I believe I was trying to work in an older version
of Picture Publisher.)  However, I almost never work in Paintbrush and
didn't even think about trying this there. Now I really must give this a
try.

                Practice makes perfect--or perfectly awful.
                It depends on what you practice.
