[QUOTE="BudVitoff, post: 1789690, member: 211650"] I'll spare you the sordid details, but I've recently committed myself to a major, [B][I]major[/I][/B] task. I was asked to help out a 90-year-old gentleman "a couple of times a month" with his computer work. Sounds easy, right? Nope. Thanks to a family history of ADHD and a concussion last January, he needs help with the most basic things in computerese, and it's become a daily 30-mile round trip! Just the other day, I had prepared written instructions about something or other, and used the term "Control-A". He asked what that meant. So my instructions from now on has to include not only text, but snapshots of what I'm talking about, and thick red arrows to point to where something is in the snapshot. I can use Grab to take my snapshot, and Photoshop Elements to insert the arrows, but that's a bit clumsy. Also, I would prefer to use Pages for my basic document, because I know something is going to get left out, and Pages allows me to easily shift paragraphs vertically when I need to insert new material. I can't help feeling that there's something else that would provide a mark-up-able snapshot-type image, and I hope you can tell me what it is. [/QUOTE]
