need screen capture as image, not object

I can capture a screen shot with no problem (this is manually, not with VB code), but I can't seem to figure out how to save it as anything other than a Microsoft Object. That is, I can embed it in MS office files with no problem, but I need to save it as an image. BMP or JPG or most anything.

Any help appreciated.

um... are you using the clipboard? Why not just paste it into Paint? Sae it as a bitmap....Or... paste it into Word, then Save As Webpage -- Word will convert the image into a a gif (or jpg, I don't remember which)....
plaan be also works via code....

thanks. Yeah, I was using the clipboard, which was my problem. Going directly into paint works fine.
