The solution is to toggle your video setup to VGAMono while copying the 
bitmaps.  Run Setup.exe, select mono, do all your screen captures (if
you are using just clipboard, then save the clipboards to a file or
insert them in WfW;  if you are using ScrapBook+ just save them all).

Don't be concerned if they don't look just right when you paste them into
WfW when you're still in VGAMono.

Then reset to normal color VGA and load WinWord.  Paste what you haven't.

Note:  WfW 1.0 and 1.1 had some trouble with sizing (pictures pasted needed
some tweaking).

Version 1.1a seems to have improved on this, but as I said they may not look
right when first pasted in VGAMono...
