How to Import Group of Screen Captures into Word Table

[alex20850]

I have already contacted Snagit technical support on this, but they haven't worked with this feature.

A lot of our quick and dirty documentation is just a table with two columns.

The first column is the instructions and the second column is a screenshot of where they will
be performing the instructions.

It is easier if I go through the process with screenshots saved and named automatically or sent to Word.
If I pull them in using Insert, Picture, From File, they brought touching each other. Then, if I convert them to a table, all the pictures are in one cell.

The same kind of thing happens if I use the feature Program Output to Word - all pictures are touching each other and if I convert them into a table, they are in one cell.

Any ideas?

Have you tried increasing the cell margins?

The cell/column width increases automatically to fit all the pictures.

That's different. Cell margins will give you a certain padding distance.

Table properties - Options. Bump up your margins.

All the images still go into the same cell.
I also tried restricting the height of the cell to exactly 1 inch. The images still only go into the one cell and only the one cell. I am going to close out this posting and look for a Word macro.

thanks

I misread what you were trying to do. I thought your point was that the cells were the same size as the photo. Sorry

No problem.
