    I bought FastStone Capture [NOT SPAM] but only because I like it and use it
    a lot. (Note: You can download previous, free versions of FastStone
    Capture.)

    IrfanView (www.irfanview.com) has a screen capture option.

    Why do you need Word?

    Hit the Print Screen key (next to F12).
    Open Paint (Programs, Accessories, Paint).
    Edit, Paste.
    Click on Select button (rectangle made of dashed lines).
    Click on one corner of the wanted area.
    Holding down the left mouse button, move the mouse to put the dashed
    rectangle around the data area.
    Edit, Cut.
    File, New.
    Click No to the Save question.
    Edit, Paste.
    File, Save As.
    Put the file name in quotes.

    Easy... http://www.jingproject.com

    It captures, uploads, and hosts the image. And it's made by Techsmith who is
    like the "Microsoft" of screen capture software.

    Brilliant - Brilliant

    I have got Vista Premium on my PC & i found the wonderful Snipping Tool you
    mentioned

    It takes screen grab any shape i want (no need to crop whole screen), I can
    save it directly as web-friendly jpeg

    It even lets me edit it (with coloured pens) which is something i forgot
    about but i also wanted

    Aint it great when someone invents stuff before you even know you want it
    )

    Peachy - thanks
