Spoilt for choice now eh?

If you paste it in paint first and then crop it there, it is much clearer.

Thank you to all the young folk and YFred for helping me. :D

I didn't even realise I had a Prt Scrn button.

I've now pasted the web-page into the Word document, in 3 sections to get the whole lot in.

I can't trim them to get the surrounding junk off, but I'll have a play with that later (unless someone has time to pass on some instructions, which will be gratefully received, but I'm not going to push my luck since what I have is passable :D ... and life's too short to be a perfectionist).

Once again thank you all, and you will be acknowledged ....

When you paste the image into PAINT, all you need to do is right click and select CROP.

Then hold your left button down on your mouse, creating a rectangle around the part of the image you wish to retain.

Then right click and select CROP once again.

Start > All Programs > lady pit etc etc.
BTW I aint that old. I feel like a 25 year old.
But I can't have one.

PS if you use sections in your word document you can rotate the page to Landscape and then it may fit better, old girl.

:roll: Go to START // then select ALL PROGRAMS // ACCESSORIES // PAINT.

You will probably need to follow the instructions in my first post in order to use PAINT to CROP your image. It is much easier.
