Hey you guys,
Can you give me some tips on improving the quality of screenshots? I'm
working with pictures out of a word file, then putting them into
QuarkXPress.

I think I know what I just did wrong.

The boss gives me a word file, it has pictures in it. I copy the pictures
to the hard disk. Then suck them into Quark. I think my problem is that I
sized the .jpg or .gif from within Quark.

Proposed solution:
I should import the .jpg or .gif into a photo program (not adjusting size)
then export those files as .eps. Then I can size them all I want in Quark
right?

Thanks folks. The boss is screaming that the res. is crap in a doc I just
submitted.
