Hi Tracy,
I like Corel PhotoPaint, myself. The process I use would be to click Print Screen to capture the page.
Assuming an 800x600 screen, I create a new blank 800x600 image in PhotoPaint. (If this is to be posted to the Web, I perceive a sharper picture if you also start with resolution 72 dpi rather than 600 dpi.)
Then click Edit > Paste as new selection. Then you can Edit > Resample to as small as 25% (200x150). The small type is lost, but you can still see that it's there. That's OK, though, because being a smart really cookie, you'll use that as a thumbnail, triggering a larger rendition when they click on it. <grin>
I also like to design for compatibility between 800 and 600 pixel screens. On such a page, I'd start with the 600x480 version, to capture just that much more detail.
Don't forget to use Effects > Sharpen > Adaptive unsharp on the Thumbnail to "fool the eye" with crispness.
