Re: .WMF or .EMF graphics

Thanks Arlen

I guess my real question is...is there a screen
capture utility that will capture in WMF or EMF
(aparently "extended" form of WMF) formats? 

...as I write this its dawning on me that perhaps
if its hard for a utility to convert a bitmap to 
WMF that it might be just as hard to screen capture
in WMF...
