Cush, get SnagIt. I have paid for and used that program for several years. A free trial is available techsmith.com They may e-mail a special offer before the trial expires. I swear by SnagIt. It's trouble free. It also makes 'movies' by taking snapshots at specified intervals. Gottfried

I'd like to be able to capture a specific section from a Sheet, in Excel, and turn that into a .gif On my old Win 98 machine, I have Excel 2000 and the standard Paint program one gets with 98. Using Print Scrn key one can copy the display screen which shows whatever part of the spreadsheet you want copied, open Excel and the speadsheet esp. the portion to be made into a pic. and pressing the Print Scrn key (copy) and opening Paint and paste to it, then save it as a .gif file..... further smaller areas of that picture (which would be what was displayed on the screen) could be captured by using the Select (rectangle shape) tool and copy/cut and paste from there...... "Attributes" can tell you the size you have created, there is a resize called "stretch and skew" but changing it too much will affect is appearance and I simply haven't used Paint for a very long time........one way of changing size would be by using Zoom or resize of Excel itself and how it shows the spreadsheet(smaller or bigger) on the display since "Print Screen" just copies the display. This method is an easy work around for other programs too, even some internet sites that don't let you copy the pics or content like macromedia stuff. if you have other graphics software, look for screen capture abilities with them...........I like Jasc's Paint Shop Pro for fooling around with pictures, relatively inexpensive (also with screen capture)....
