I am making an instruction sheet for filling out a form created using Word.
I want to indicate that the person needs to access a specific button on a
specific toolbar. To that end, I thought I could insert a copy of that
toolbar. How do I do that (I know it has been done before; I just can't
remeber how)? Thanks

Probably the simplest way is to grab a screen shot of a toolbar and
crop it down to show only the detail you want.

The cheap version is to press Alt+PrtScn to put a picture of the
current window on the clipboard, and paste into the Paint program in
which you can crop and save as a graphic (.jpg or .gif) file. Then
insert or link that graphic in the Word document.

A better alternative is a screen-capture program, of which the best
IMHO is SnagIt (www.techsmith.com). With that, you can capture just
the region you want, modify, add borders, etc. I still recommend
saving as a graphic file and inserting/linking into Word, rather than
pasting the capture directly into the document.
