<br>I guess we will need OCR of each captured screen also, so that we can paste the text in a table and then just add a column to explain what each control does. That will finish the work much faster than having to look at each screenshot and enter all that text manually.<br>

screenshots automatically.<br>
<br>
That never seemed to happen.<br>
