Hello,

I would like to write a program that "captures the visual output" of Microsoft word and then save it as, for example, a bitmap. I am mainly interest in the capturing problem. I do not simply want to take a screenshot of the entire screen (and then trim it according to word's size) because there might be another window overlapping it. I do not want to force the focus on Word either because the user will want to work on his computer as normal. How can I programmatically capture the visual output of a windows program whitout interfering with the normal features of the software?
