SB is right. You can also experiment with jpg, emf, and wmf because render they differently when resized. Try them all. I don't use it much but I seem to remember that one works better than the other for resizing - emf I think.Actually gifs work best if you don't have to resize. My client captures dozens of screen shots. We just Alt-PrtScreen and paste into PowerPoint. At this point I think it is a bitmap. We scale it down by 65%. Bitmaps seem to be able to handle that. We crop off about 20% of the screen (areas we don't need) then then save as a .gif!! This a very good very small file. I have not tried just pasting as a gif into Lectora.You might try resizing it in PowerPoint first and then pasting as a jpg, wmf, or emf in Lectora.Finally, I had a lot of trouble getting good drawings (composed of circles, boxes, lines, arrows) from PowerPoint into Lectora. Either I got jagged edges on rounded objects for emf and wmfs or black background for jpg or white text for gif. Bitmaps are too bit. The solution was to copy the drawing and paste right back into PowerPoint as a bitmap. (Created a ppt macro for this.) Then cut it from there and paste into Lectora as a jpg.cheers, benEdited By: bpitman on 2006-3-24 12:31:2
