Notes

NOTE: You can view the PAINT HELP information. Paint does have a rather large Border, cutting down the amount of data that can be displayed. You can use other programs, such as any Graphics program or even (a new enough version of) WORD instead of Paint in which to capture, print, and possibly edit your screen image. The Free IrfanView is very good.
