Do you know if SnagIt produces superior, high quality JPGs from Word 2003
docs? (I have to send it to a local quick print where they are going to
enlarge it approximately 425% to create a poster. The PDF version is way too
grainy when enlarged that amount.)

I haven't tried anything that extreme, and I'm away from my home computer
where SnagIt is installed so I can't try it at the moment.

There's a free 30-day trial download of SnagIt on the TechSmith site, and
you can open the resulting capture in the free viewer IrfanView
(www.irfanview.com) to enlarge it and see what you get.

Don't try to take a screen shot of Word, because that will limit you to the
screen resolution. Instead, print to the SnagIt printer driver and tell it
to save the result as TIFF. I'd consider JPG as a second (or lower) choice
because it's a lossy compression method, where TIFF is lossless.

EXCELLENT! Thanks tons, Jay. I will test it out tonight.

SnagIt worked perfectly! Thank goodness you told me to “print†it using the
SnagIt printer in Word versus going directly into SnagIt.

Thanks tons!

SnagIt, like a Swiss Army Knife, WD40, and Duct Tape, is part of the toolkit
with which everyone should be issued at birth... ;-)

The trial version has already saved my life -- I am going to purchase it today!
