Cirrus,
If you go with Word and use the drawing object tools to place numbers or
other graphical elements over your screen shots: remember to clear the Float
over text option when inserting a screen shot into your Word document (you
can also format an existing screen shot and clear this option). If you
don't, you'll never get the numbered button or whatever other drawing object
you place over your screen shot to show up on your print out.

Subject: Numbers instead of Callouts on Screen Prints
Does anyone know of a particular software that would be good
for creating
screen prints with number buttons on it directing readers to
associated
text? For example, on a name field, I'd like to paste a
button number "1"
and then have instructions below the screen print saying 1.
Enter user name
here. OR -- does anyone know of a way to do this in Word?
This may seem elementary to most of you but I need the help!
Thanks!
