I just know a lot of people who need to get a screenshot of an alert box to forward to tech support, and don't need to capture the entire screen. @ ani I hate using Paint, too, it's just that it's free and comes with every Windows PC. Personally I use Photoshop. FYI TechSmith is offering older versions of SnagIt (v7) and Camtasia Studio (v3) for free until Jan 7 2008, if you're interested. SnagIt code: http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/ukdn.asp Camtasia code: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/pcpls.asp The biggest perk of getting a license for these old versions is that you will be eligible to buy the latest versions for the 'upgrade' price: "After installing SnagIt 7.2.5, you will be eligible to upgrade to the current version, SnagIt 8.2, for just £ 12 (New version is £ 23,99). Newly redesigned, SnagIt 8.2 makes it easier than ever to communicate with your audience." "After installing Camtasia Studio 3.1.3, you will be eligible to upgrade to the current version, Camtasia Studio 5.0, for just 88 £ (New version is 176 £)." @ peter

I didn't know the 96 dpi issue in Word. Since I hate using Paint and I often want to crop my screen captures without opening another application I still needed a screen capture software for my new home computer. I didn't want to buy SnagIt so I found a free software on the web called MW Snap3. One thing that SnagIt does well is the custom scroll where it captures the below the fold stuff of a web page.

Although I have to beg to differ about Snagit. If you call Snagit an overkill you should check out all the great features that simplifies the work of both grabbing the image and then working with it.
