Need Advice About Capturing and Printing Graphics with Word 6.0
Subject:Need Advice About Capturing and Printing Graphics with Word 6.0 From:Jane Fallander <JFallander -at- AOL -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 17 Aug 1995 13:22:20 -0400
Hello techwhirler advice-givers.
I'm running into a wall today for capturing and importing a Windows screen
into an MS Word 6.0 (Windows) document. It surely seems like a simple matter.
But no matter which options or formats I try, the imported (and printed)
result is a jaggedy bitmapped image.
I'm using HiJaak PRO to capture the image (using EPS; and TIF). TIF
supposedly works the best (and at least it works), but the result seems
bitmapped. EPS won't import into Word properly and three-quarters of the
graphic displays as junk.
Any advice . . . ? This is really frustrating. Surely I'm just doing one
small thing wrong, but everything I've tried has had the same poor results.
