You can create a jpg or gif electronically too.
1) Bring up the window you want
2) Hold the Alt button down and push PrtScr (the print screen button). This copies the active window to the Clipboard.
3) Open Paint.
4) Select Image and then Attributes. Change both the Width and Height to 5.
5) Paste the the clipboard contents to the picture. (Ctrl V or Edit Paste)
6) Save the picture with a name. Use Save As and save as a JPEG first. If your drawing or picture is mainly line art, you might want to save as a gif after saving as a JPEG.
7) Insert the picture in your Word document.
8) Right click on the inserted picture.
9) Select Size and crop the picture from Right Left Top and Bottom to remove any "framing" you don't want in your picture.
There's another way to crop the framing off, but it's a little difficult to explain how to do.

Are you trying to embed the other file into a Word document, or are you trying to put slides from
PowerPoint or some sort of output from Publisher, into the Word document?
Can you change the language on MS Office 07 from French to English?

thanks Sparky - that is a good way to do it - I had never thought of it that way.!
However, it did not make the picture as clear as I would have liked, because it was too small - so I had to resort to printing the images, scanning them and then adding them into word as pictures. Long process - but I am short on time :(
Thanks so much for your help though - if I could give you a million points I would!!! Thanks!!

Did Paint ask you for a resolution when you were saving as a JPEG? If it did, you need to specify Printer, not screen resolution. My work computer does this, but my home computer doesn't. Printer resolution, at least on my work computer, is 600 x 600 pixels, which I usually change to 300 x 300 to reduce file size.

I imported it via jasc paintshop - as that has more options for getting accuracy.

but... the screenshot was not cleear enough - so in the end, I just printed them all out and scanned them

I guess that this doesn't always work the best then.

the problem was thatI needed to copy a whole A4 document - so when I had the full document visible on the screen, I could copy the whole thing, as a screenshot, but it also copied everything else that was there- the menus, toolbars, the lot - so when I then transferred it to paint shop, even though I had adjusted the resolution, to select the material I needed meant that it was very pixelated.
