Spreadsheet 'Tours'
Greetings,
Any help would be greatly appreciated This is not strictly under this newsgroup, however I'm struggling here and I know you will be able to help. I have been using ancient software 'Lotus ScreenCam' to produce tutorials for some of my spreadsheets with excellent results. ScrenCam is screen capture software that plays back as a movie of the computer screen. You can add voice or anotate with text comments. Trouble is, we are changing over from Windows NT to XP and ScreenCam does not run on XP. Do any of you guys use anything similar that you could suggest? Failing that could you please direct me to a more appropriate newsgroup? Thanks again |

David,
We use RoboDemo made by eHelp. It's not free but effective and easy to use.

On the topic ....
I have tried each of the referenced products for screen captures. My Help document will be an Excel app using lots of hyperlinks. The problem I have found is that ANY screen capture seems to lose resolution if its final image is not 100% of the size of the original capture. Scaling of any kind seems to cause loss of resolution. Has anyone solved this ?? Or is there some underlying limitation in screen resolution, etc.? Alex J wrote in message ... David, We use RoboDemo made by eHelp.

i might be talking nonsense here, but i thnk you are always going to have
that problem, as screen-grabs are unlikely to make 'vector' type graphics which can be scaled up and down without losing resolution (you *might* be able to load it into a graphics program which would detect edges in the images and convert tehm to vectors)... maybe you could increase your screen resolution, so the grab takes in more pixels? but that could be COMPLETELY wrong!
