I find Alt-Printscreen does not reproduce the image of screen faithfully.
Looks like I will have to use GIMP to produce the cropping effects prior 
to inserting into OpenOffice documents.

But I shouldn't have to use GIMP to refine the size via crop. After 
inserting into an OO document,
I should be able to click on the image which automatically loads a 
picture editor.
The image will have handles and as I choose the crop option and drag the 
handles,
the desired image should result. This can be done without having to use 
a full image editor.

Perhaps the feature is there in Ubuntu. I will need to explore further.

Alfred,
