I do my captures and then open them in PaintShop Pro for any editing 
(cropping, color depth).  I save the image, then paste it into an empty 
word doc.  add the callouts, and then capture the graphic with the callouts 
and save it as a bitmap image.  I can then create png, gif, jpg (or 
whatever format works best for the app it's being ported to).  I realize 
it's not a perfect process, but it works well for what I do.
