(Cross-posted to Techwr-L and Framers)
I am currently documenting a software application, using FrameMaker 5.5 in
Windows 95. This is my first project using Frame (read Newbie). What is the
best way for me to capture screenschots?
In Word, I would use Alt+Print Scrn, paste into my document, and then use Word
to crop and lighten.
I need a way to this in FrameMaker, and still have the option to crop and
lighten. Do I need a package like Illustrator (which is not a problem) to get
the quality/options I need?
Any advice would be great.
