Subject: Is there a "grid" optin in Snag-It?
Hi tech writers,
just evaluate Snag-It and found the useful feature to define an
individual set of "stamps" (in my case, numbers) to place on a
screenshot. I wonder if there is a "grid" option available to have the
numbers looking more 'professional' (we develop software for engineers
:-)
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Franz-Josef Knelangen
