You can select the entire text area and Copy, then Paste Special | As
Picture, but this will not include header or footer. If you need the
*entire* page, you'll need to use a screen shot. You can get a quick and
dirty screen shot using PrintScreen or Alt+PrintScreen, then copy it into a
graphics editor for cropping and save in a graphics format. If you have a
dedicated screen capture app such as SnagIt (www.techsmith.com), this
process is greatly simplified, as you can select the exact region you want
to copy, automatically save in the desired graphics format, and use the
built-in editing tools to add snazzy effects if desired.
