Many Thanks,
One problem though, I can't download it to my work computer. I'm being

Many Thanks again,

Another possibility is to open a command line window, do an old-fashioned
DIR *.DOC (or whatever...), select with the mouse, copy to the clipboard,

Select the window to copy, Use ALT-PrtScrn to put it into the clipboard,
crop using Paint is you so desire, and paste it into your document. That's

the active window.
Or, if you insist it be text instead of an image:
