If you copy a card, you get a card on the clipboard, not a picture of the card. You can paste it in a stack and get a new card with all the objects that the copied card had. Very handy. Rev has a snapshot command. Look up snapshot in the documentation: >You take screenshots by choosing File menu Import As Control Snapshot, >or by using the import snapshot com in a handler or the message box. >The following statement takes a screenshot of the stack "My Stack" and >makes it into an image into the current stack: > > import snapshot from rect (the rect of stack "My Stack") You can also use screen shot software to take a screen shot. Mac OS X comes with an app called Grab. Classic has screen shot capabilities accessed through command-shift-3 and 4. PCs....um... isn't there a key that is labeled PrtScr or something? That takes a shot of the whole screen; use a graphics editor to crop. There is also great third-party screen shot software available. - marty -- Marty Billingsley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
