Hi Jeroen,
I use a custom written tool. It allows me to select a folder with pictures, choose a Word Template, where to start in the template and the table style, then just push the button and the document is generated! Save’s me a lot of time documenting! If your interested just contact me!

I use OneNote all the time, but I also found PSR.exe is one of my favorite tools…it does all the documentation for you.

I use the same method to create installation docs, using Screenhunter.
The way I work is following:
I autosave all pictures to a folder.
Then I take a new Word doc and set the margins to the width of the table colum I will use, normally about 9 cm
Select all pictures from the folder and drop them in to the Word doc with set margins,
all pictures will auto scale down to max of the margins.
From there I cut and paste them into the table of my install docs.

It is the easiest way I can think of to get the size right without Word doing anything with the pictures, and also it enables me to review the pictures or edit them before putting them into the final doc.

Hi Jeroen,

Normaly in Word 2007 Ctrl-X (Cut) and then again Ctrl-V (paste) on the image in the table automaticly autoresizes the image. Word 2010 doesn’t anymore by default.

If you set the table up with an exact row height and with the “Automatically resize to fit contents” box unchecked (Table Tools>Table Properties>Options), then an image that is inserted into the table will be sized to fit into the available space.

Hope this helps…
