Two points. One is that in my book Snagit is the bee's knees. The second 
is I do my captures plain and then manipulate on a copy in case I get it 
wrong. Snagit will cope just fine as long as the area of interest is in 
the center of the capture, if not then add the vignette in PaintShop Pro 
or Photoshop, or... In any case I find this is faster than the EPS 
route. BTW, I've found that while TIFF takes a lot of space they are 
easy to get good quality from. In fact Wiley insists on TIFF for their 
books.

However, they are not *all* that bright, they insist on the use of a 
Word template. I have not been able to get them to budge on that. It's 
about as smart as hiring a contractor to re-model your house and telling 
them they can't use power tools.

Security is lot like democracy - everyone's for it but
few understand that you have to work at it constantly.
