CA will do a text capture via edit|copy to the Windows clipboard. You can then 
paste into notepad or the word processor of your choice, but make sure you use 
a monospaced font like courier. Courier New 9pt usually seems to work best for 
including displays in a word document. You won't get underlines, but you can 
edit them in fairly easily. In order to do a graphic capture, I've usually 
needed to use a graphic program like paintshop or hijack to do the capture, and 
then paste into a document. This works pretty well in word, but try to keep the 
aspect ratio the same as the original screen and as close to 1:1 as possible or 
the font reproduction will be poor.
