Hi Morgan,


Generally, using a program that can do screen captures and save them to disk in a format of your choice (http://irfanview.com is
one) and then using Word's Insert=>Picture feature to add the pictures can give you better control of the format, size and picture
quality.

The standard choices in Word for 'print screen' key captures is a Bitmap and those are generally not efficient as to file size.
Word's 'compress picture' feature typically doesn't take much out of pasted screen captures as far as size of the file goes if
selecting 'print' quality is selected.

As to quality of the image, are these documents going to be printed to paper, or converted to PDF files or read onscreen? Do you
have the originals saved anywhere but in the document?
