SnagIt is the most recommended screen capture program. It is easy to use 
and very feature rich. It probably takes me less than 30 seconds to 
capture and save a screen shot-- and I rarely use the program and am not 
proficient with it. Someone who uses it frequently would probably be 
substantially faster. FrameMaker 9 and 10 have a built-in program, 
RoboScreenCapture, that also does screen captures. I can't imagine that 
your co-worker's PrintScreen32 program does the work any faster or more 
efficiently.

No, it sounds like you are being sane! The co-worker's method sounds 
completely unprofessional.

Referencing graphics reduces file size, increases speed, and eliminates 
possible problems due to memory limits. An external graphic can be more 
easily edited and shared by many documents. You can edit an external 
graphic to update it, and all the documents that include it are 
automatically updated without further user effort.
