them into a wordpad document and then bringing that into power P. but it is
time consuming and i don't like the way it looks. an suggestions?

If you were presenting about dogs - what do you think would impress them
more: Bringing a live dog into the classroom - or showing them a
presentation full of photos of dogs?

Do the same with Excel: Show them the real program, and - if possible - have
them use it themselves.

If you need to provide screenshots for a booklet, I'm with John: Use SnagIt.
It allows you to take screenshots AND to edit them.

Best regards,
Ute

Hi April

I'm in complete agreement with Ute. If you are trying to show people how to
use Excel then *use Excel*! It also means you will be able to answer
questions...
