I don't think so:

Murphy says that the application to be described defenite WILL crash shortly
 before you could save your word processor documents.

ss> Documenting an application on

If you happen to be able to run a screen capture program. Remember that you
 will use applications with *lots* of debug code in them which bloats them
 heavily.

Transfer the screenshots htrough some kind of LAN and do NOT store them in the
 machine with the new program.


Greetings from Germany,
