Is there any way I can control the format that TNT uses when I copy a screen shot to the clipboard?
I've been using TNT to help create documentation in Word and find that the images I get in Word are all 24bit bitmaps. Given that most only need to be 256 colours at the most, I would like to be able to drop the colour depth or to be able to copy the screen shot as a GIF image. I just can't see an option to do this... is there one?
I'd rather not save the screen shots as files if I can get away without doing so, as they only need to exist in the Word document.
Thanks
Steve

In TNT, click the Edit > Copy (Reduced Colours) menu item
to reduce to an 8-bit (256 colours) bitmap on the clipboard.

Note that this function is only available as of TNT version 2.x ... If you have an earlier version you must save in a format with fewer colors and then load it into Word from the saved file.

Re: Clipboard Format
Thanks for this, I was looking at the image menu for options to reduce colours and using the icons to copy/paste. Never occurred to me to check the Edit menu.Martin Wynne wrote:click the Edit > Copy (Reduced Colours) menu item
