PrintScreen from VB6 app to Word

Bill

I'm running a VB6 project and using the PrintScreen to copy
a window to the clipboard. When I "paste special" it as a
picture to my Word 2002 document, the picture comes out a
little fuzzy. How can I sharpen it up? Thanks.

Hi Bill,

you'd probably need to put it into a graphics program then
save that as a file to disk. And you should do some testing
which graphics format gives the best result.

Word is a word processor with some graphics capability, but
it's not a graphics (nor a page layout) program. This means
there are simply some things it's not good at, and handling
graphics well is one of them. For one thing, you'll find it
tries to make everything 96 dpi...
