Works wonderfully. Now I'll just need to figure out how to crop the needed screenshot from the rest. Is there a tool that is needed to do this?

Looks like I will have to use GIMP to produce the cropping effects prior to inserting into OpenOffice documents. But I shouldn't have to use GIMP to refine the size via crop. After inserting into an OO document, I should be able to click on the image which automatically loads a picture editor. The image will have handles and as I choose the crop option and drag the handles, the desired image should result. This can be done without having to use a full image editor. Perhaps the feature is there in Ubuntu. I will need to explore further. Alfred, </body> </html>
