I have captured the screen layout by using PRINTSCREEN key into Clipboard. After I paste the content of Clipboard into Word for Windows, the picture is not very readable. The writing is all dark and the printout is not readable. What am I doing wrong? Is there any special commands that I need to paste the captured screen from Clipboard into Words? Maybe there are special requirements in installing Words for such graphics/picture? Please email or post any experience, ideas or suggestions you may have. Thank you!

The trick here is to configure your monitor as a monochrome VGA (you are using VGA, aren't you? 8-) ) before Printscreening to the clipboard. Then paste the clipboaard into w4w. You'll be amazed at the differnce this makes. After you have captured all your graphics this way you can reconfigure back to a color monitor and you will not lose any detail in the w4w document. If this answer has been posted before, I apologize but this news only got here today a mere 10 days since it was posted.
