There's an image capture, video capture and text capture option. This is from the help file: <quote> If you have ever had to write down text that is on your screen, or if you frequently use Edit > Copy/Paste, you will find SnagIt/32 TEXT Capture extremely useful. These TEXT captures are created from the text information appearing on screen, not bitmaps or graphics which are ignored in this mode of capture. There are two major ways to use SnagIt/32 TEXT Capture: 1 On Windows 95/98 Only: You can capture almost any text you see on the screen just like you use SnagIt/32 to capture IMAGE files from the screen. Instead of capturing an image you capture plain ASCII text. This allows you to capture TEXT even if the application you are capturing does not support Edit > Copy or File > Save. With this method, SnagIt/32 "reads the screen" for you. Some applications and "Rich Text" windows cannot be captured with this method, but can probably be captured with method 2. 2 On Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, you can capture TEXT from the Windows Clipboard. With this method, SnagIt/32 is much like a Windows Clipboard enhancement tool. SnagIt/32 can provide a significant productivity boost by automatically capturing TEXT from the Windows Clipboard and sending it to the configured SnagIt/32 TEXT Output. You can annotate your TEXT captures and append text to existing files. With the Clipboard Chain option, you can even automatically capture and output any text Copied to the Clipboard (without even pressing a hotkey...). SnagIt/32 is like a very intelligent and configurable Edit > Paste command. While most computer programs have a method of copying text from one place and pasting it elsewhere, SnagIt/32 adds some important features you don’t get with copy and paste: · You can capture TEXT from screens that don’t allow copy and paste in Windows 95/98 (not available on the other platforms the SnagIt/32 runs under). Not all screens or programs have these edit features. SnagIt/32 works with most any screen you can view on your computer. · You can either preserve the approximate vertical and horizontal placement of text or have SnagIt/32 collapse these spaces. · You can use SnagIt/32’s Auto Scroll feature to eliminate the need to scroll and highlight long screens or blocks of text. Auto Scroll gets it all. · You can direct output to a variety of destinations, including the clipboard, printer, preview window, or to a file with flexible naming and saving. · You can annotate and timestamp the captured text. · You can append TEXT to a single file to keep a running log of captured passages. This is great for clipping notes from your Web browser or e-mailer to a file to share with others. You can also use it to capture a series of error messages from any application to send to technical support personnel. TEXT files are saved in ASCII format and are usually appended with a .TXT filename extension. These files are very small in comparison with IMAGE files and video. Almost every computer program has some facility to import and manipulate ASCII text, including many word processors, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, and even graphics programs. All of the TEXT capture options that you set for SnagIt/32 are saved independently of the other capture types. </quote> Jeroen ;-} http://zip.to/jeroen
