This is quite true, but Paint clips the screen image you bring in from the
clipboard. You can reduce this problem by suppressing the icons and pallet, and
by zooming out, but the clipping still occurs. Does anyone know how to eliminate
the clipping, or is there another package that does the job properly? We'll be
needing the capability in a few months when we put together the docs for our
application.
