Hi Jimmy,
If you're doing a full screen capture and if your screen is wider than the margin width of your document then that can be one reason
for the image being 'scaled' when pasted into Word. As Suzanne mentions, right click on the picture in Word and check the
scale/size property and see what happens to the picture if you click the [Reset] choice there.
If that resizes it you may want to also check the Pixels Per Inch (ppi) value (can be set from 72 to 420) in
Tools=>Options=>General=>Web Options=>Pictures.
That setting does affect how Word interprets graphic sizes when pasting or inserting when the graphic, or in the case of the
clipboard transmission of the graphic, does not set a specific PPI. Saving to a file, editing, then inserting will often give more
manageable and pleasing results, and you'll have a copy to reuse which isn't always possible using pasted screen shots.

Hi Graham,
I'm using the latest SnagIT 9, which is an excellent utility, but have a
problem when pasting a captured image into Word 2000 for a training manual.
Word scales the image downward and makes it very difficult to see important
detail. Resizing the image using Word's picture format settings works but it
moves the placeholder to the right. Is there any way I can manipulate the
placeholder to enlarge the image but centre it on the page. Centre-alignment
has no effect.
Regards,
Jimmy>>
