I don't use Publisher but here's how I do it in Word...

Paste both images in, then right-click on the one you want on top and choose 
Wrap Text -> In Front of Text.  Now you can drag it wherever you want.  The 
"Text" it's in front of can be the other image.

Tip sheets for creating tip sheets could be really useful, but I don't know of 
any good sources.  I was interested to note that in a bunch of Googling just 
now for something of the sort, I found very few results with full-sized 
screenshots in them.  Most have just small areas of the screen (probably 
similar to your zoomed area) without the full context shot.  It'll depend on 
what you're teaching, but if you can show enough of the screen that the user 
knows where to look, you may not need the whole screen.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Creating printed handouts - the graphics

My esteemed listmates,



If you have created handouts created in MS Word or Publisher for a live
presentation of how to perform simple tasks in basic software did you find
any beginner's guide to creating graphs easily for such a handout?



I'm faced with doing screen captures of what a feature looks like on screen
and pasting that into Word/Publisher and the words on screen appear tiny.



I can have that and then "superimpose" a zoom of those words so they appear
large enough but insisted of having those 2 graphics side by side I wanted
the large view on top of the smaller view.



I was hoping there were examples of how to best proceed when screen
captures are small so you can overlay larger graphics of what you can see
once zoomed.



Thank you handout creators!



Charles.
