Doesn't Paint Shp Pro do screen captures?
Since I'm not writing computer docs right now, I'm not doing screen captures
unless I'm reporting Word error messages to IT <G>. So I haven't
investigated it -- I'll check the book just in case I need it later, thanks!
Right now I'm fighting the good fight to replace some 11-year-old software
(it's no longer supported by the developer and the OS it runs on is no
longer supported by Microsoft but let's not get into that pet peeve). When
I win, I will be doing some screen captures to create step-by-steps for very
non-computer-savvy users (mostly to point them at the application's help
system).

And why a fistful of flash drives instead of an external USB hard
disk? Bigger, cheaper, more convenient to use.
Oh, whatever would work. I can get them to buy $50 flash drives once per
month or two, they get panicky at bigger and more than $100. And why do I
need so much capacity? Yippee, another educational opportunity.
