I would like a (very simple to use) way of pasting a selected BlackBox
View as a Bitmap into other applications (such as Paint and especially
Powerpoint).

There are many options for getting to Powerpoint.

However, unless I go via Paint, Powerpoint does not recognise the result
as Bitmap (the Powerpoint Paste Special options are BlackBox View or
Picture, not Bitmap).

All the options (including the BlackBox Paste Special option 'Picture (Bitmap)'
into a BlackBox Document) cause various distortions in the View - eg Vertical
Fonts are incorrect, rectangles align incorrectly. (The only exception is to do
a full screen capture, then clip out the required bit in Paint. Tedious and
inaccurate.)

Has anyone written some code that will simply capture the selected View, and
paste it as a simple Bitmap onto the Clipboard?

Cheers

Robert Campbell
