Another possibility which has worked well for me is to use the Shareware
program cap (available through many BBS's and, I think, in the Simtel archives)
This loads as a regular Windows program and takes over the keys Alt-F7, Alt-F8,
Alt-F9 and Alt-F10 (or something very similar).

Depending upon which key you hit, you copy either the current window or the
entire screen to the clipboard in your choice of glorious B&W or Color.  I've
used this technique, then went to Paintbrush and saved as a PCX file while in
color mode and the results looked _good_, I won't say great, when pasted back
into WfW.

Because of the project I was working on, we converted the dumps to MacPaint
format, copied them to a Mac and then pasted into Mac Word.  They also looked
_good_, again not great, this way.  Noone has complained, but frankly I'd
prefer to be able to get EPS rendering.
