TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Have you tried the Office Snippet tool? I'm not sure how sophisticated
it is, but other people seem to like it. I've attached a screen shot
showing the directions (very simple). If the screen shot doesn't come
through, look for the tool in your Office/Accessories folder in
Programs.

> Hi all,
>
> I haven't gotten the okay from my company for SnagIt, and I need a good screen capture software for a Help Manual I'm working on.
>
> I've read something about Shup, which is freeware and seems to have good reviews.
> Does anyone have any experience with this software? Or any other alternatives that I can use?
>
> I hate using the word method of taking a screen shot, because then I can't capture JUST what I need and the time to fix it takes forever.
>
> Thanks!
