Title: how to document AS/400 reports using Microsoft Word

We use Screen Snatcher by FADSoft, Inc. I have no idea where we got it nor have I used it personally. But that is what our company uses.

Subject: how to document AS/400 reports using Microsoft Word

Does anyone have styles built or ideas how to grab AS/400 screens and reports and make them look good in MS Word?

I know how to copy a spool file to Word; I am looking for styles or something that will make them look like greenbar background reports. For screens, how to make them look like screens with a nice border.

I would the following requirements to be met:

1)      How can I make any font fixed pitch so AS/400 reports and screen columns line up vertically?

2)      How can I make a greenbar background without a bitmapped image.

3)      How can I make a nice border to look like a screen (not bit mapped).

4)      Any other ideas for creating AS/400 software documentation.
