Screen Shot Does Not Paste

[Chris]

When I take a screen capture using alt+print screen , while it shows up in
office clipboard, it will not paste into Word. All I see is a border. What's
going on? I can paste fine in PowerPoint.

Thanks

Chris

On the View tab of Tools | Options, make sure that "Picture placeholders" is
not checked.

Thanks! I found the solution shortly after submitting my question (after racking my brain and fingers for an hour).

Chris,
I am not sure if you are still tracking this. I am trying to capture the
ALT+TAB result.
But have been unsuccesful. Can you tell me how you solved the riddle? (see
my post of 10/26/2005)
Thanks

Hi Murad,

Windows Alt+Tab display 'leaves' the screen on the press of pretty
much any other key, other than the cursor keys for moviing across
the dialog, so using a hotkey for screen capturing will often miss it.

You can use http://www.irfanview.com and set the capture mode to
on (press 'C' while in the app) using fullscreen capture and a timed
screen grab and save at a fixed interval of say 4 seconds.

Then activate your Alt+Tab screen and keep it on screen until you
hear the 'capture' sound, then go back to Irfanview and stop the
capture (press C again).

You can then open and crop the pictures you captured to fit your
needs.
