I have a writer working on a project in Texas who needs help with
capturing screens on a UNIX system and implementing them into Word 6
docs on a PC. The technology group there can't think of anyway to help
her. <snip>

I am currently using a Pentium PC with Windows and Exceed to dial into an
RS/6000 to run an X-windows application programmed with Motif. I use the
Alt+Print Screen function of Windows to capture windows to the clipboard
and then paste them into AMI PRO. You could probably do the same thing
in Word. If I only need part of a screen or window, I use Paint Shop
Pro's area capture function.
