Hi, Paint (see startmenu, programs or All Programs, accessories, paint) can be really handy for example if you're working in a virtual machine and don't have speech. You can print screen shots to the printer pertaining to your OCR package and sometimes you get pretty useful results. Anyway, here's a bit about the program from the Paint help file:
"Paint is a drawing tool you can use to create simple or elaborate drawings. These drawings can be either black-and-white or color, and can be saved as bitmap files. You can print your drawing, use it for your desktop background, or paste it into another document. You can even use Paint to view and edit scanned photos.

You just press Alt-Print Page, type "mspaint" into the Run dialog, hit Enter and press Control-V to paste the result into mspaint to create the image file for uploading. Then you select Save As from the File menu to save it to your location of choice, like the desktop or My Documents so that you can easily retrieve it for submission to Solona. I have already tried it and it works.
