Thanks to everyone for your help!  The problem is resolved, and seemed to
involve a keyboard shortcut (that I never intentionally set up).   Thanks
again for all the emails!  Colleen

Isn't that what Alt-Printscreen does already?  Not sure why you'd need
separate software just for that.  But some software does have features that
allow you to "draw" on your screen to select an even smaller section,
however.

Colleen - since what you get when you grab a screenshot with printscreen or
alt-printscreen is an image, you may want to try, for testing purposes, to
past it into an image editing program, rather than a word processor.  The
simplest one would be MS Paint which is found under accesssories.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "capture the screen in sections" - can
you post an example perhaps?

Thanks,
Jeremy
