Robert:
PNG is Portable Network Graphics. The .png files are small.
I do not any more details concerning .png.

Do the following:
1. Open MS Photo Editor. It is in Office Tools, or sometimes
among the programs in main Start Menu. Depenads which version
of Office you are using.
2. Go to BlackBox. Press ALT-PrintScrn
3. Go to MS Photo Editor. Execute Edit->Paste As New Image.
Entire BB window will appear. I have not found a way to copy
just one BB window.
4. Press the Crop Tool (middle of the tool bar, looks like
a dashed rectangle).
5. Draw the outline around the area to ge copied. This can be done
accurately by adjusting the dashed outline. Increase magnification
using the % pull-down in the middle of the toolbar. Use 125% and
you will see every pixel. You can change magnification while
adjusting the area.
6. Press CTRL-C.
7. Execute Edit->Paste As New Image. You will get what you just
selected.
8. Save to disk as .bmp. Other formats are available. I usually
use .jtag with fairly low quality factor of 30%. But you can
make other formats as well.
9. You can also skip step 8 and paste directly to Power Point.
Use CTRL-C, then adjust the size.
10. Pasting directly to BlackBox sometimes works, sometimes does not.
But you can execute step 8, and then Edit->Insert Object...
from disk, using file created in step 8.
This procedure works reliably for me, and is almost as quick as
CTRL-C - CTRL-V.
Hope this helps,
W.
