[AccessD] Reports To File

Doug:

I've got Snagit but the reports are in landscape and it crops about 3/4" off
the right side of the report and puts it on a second page.  I couldn't find
anywhere in Snagit to adjust that so that the whole page came out.  The
report width is 10" so there's only 1/2 inch right and left margin.

Do you know of a way in Snagit to fix that?

Thanks.

Rocky,

Take a look at Snagit from Techsmith. It does a screen capture and then will
put the image directly into a Word document.

Dear Lists:
 
I'm in trouble now.  Turned 60 - my mind is failing. 
 
I did a manual for my commercial product several years ago.  Now I'm coming
out with a big new release and that requires re-writing and updating the
manual.  It's all done except for the reports in the appendix.  
 
When I did those reports originally, I had a devil of a time figuring out
how to get them into the word doc.  Eventually I figured it out.  Even redid
the reports a few years ago in Chinese for my distributor.
 
Problem is, I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it.  Been
puzzling over it for two days, searching through the HD, looking for likely
programs or add-ons, or printer drivers.  But I think I got a lead from
someone on the list.  
 
My only clue:  I remember that the program created a separate file for each
page of the report - and IIRC (sigh) it was in jpg format.  Rotated it,
dropped it into the word doc manual - was a piece of cake.  It's the last
thing I have to do to get the new release ready.  I do remember that screen
captures didn't cut it.  When the report is reduced to where it all shows on
the screen it reproduces badly.   It's something that put each page of the
report out to a separate jpg. 

Any clues, leads, WAGs welcome.  Doesn't have to be the way I did it before.
I just need a nice high res image of the report page.  Doesn't matter how I
get it.  

MMMTIA 

Rocky
