Several Thoughts Snap a picture of the LCD with a digital camera 1: Windows Paint allows adding text (to a blank file) and saving as a JPG. 2: I use Snagit to grab off the screen either as text or raster most anything on the screen, and send it many different places including clipboard, file (text or jpg, etc.). I use the editor to add text and arrows, balloons, etc. to pictures for manuals. It's about $30. http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=CuaJ5HknKSoXhAcuKtgep4sj0A-upuZoB8-3Vrw_-nbUKCAAQASC2VCgCUPmHx94EYMmuyIvEpPwPoAHm777_A8gBAaoEHE_QDPKRzyBMERG9-fOpuzyEXEaxXfhLnw9xV28&sig=AGiWqtyqWNvxjP4oIVsG0yQziT_4YQgovQ&q=http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.asp Bob Blick wrote: > On Mon, 5 Oct 2009 12:06:45 -0500, "fred jones" > said: > >> Hi all, I have a strange question.
