User Manual Headache - image problems

[mnp13]

I'm hoping someone here can tell me what I'm missing..

I am currently writing the users's manual for our company's on line entry system. A number of the graphics are screen shots of forms that are much longer than one page. Is there any way to make a graphic auto crop to the correct height or for it to wrap from page to page

I am currently linking to the image twice and cropping it different ways to acheive the 'look' of the image wrapping from page to page. This is EXTREMELY tedious, especially when I have to update a section and then re-crop images on about 20 pages

Thanks

Michelle

I or someone her will try and help you, but you should post what program you are using to write (edit images) your users manual with
You also may want to post this in the Publisher group (if using that program)
Could you not scan your document and edit the size show it on one page?

There is a really good screen-capture utility (also very reasonably priced)
named Snag-It that will let you capture scrolling images. They have a
fully-functional demo available also.

You don't give enough information to really help.

1. I has used Microsoft Word for this in the past. It will
automatically size graphics that you paste in to fit the page.

2. I supplement my screen shots by using SnagIt! to capture the
screens, then use SnagIt's abiltity to quickly cut out only a portion of
the screen--then put that portin into the document.

You mention "linking to the image twice". Sounds complicated. Why are
you linking? Just put the files in the doc.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
