Ok then do what I mentioned in one my last emails with the 
print screen key.  If it's ok if you save the shot as a
bitmap, 
then fine.  If not, IrfanView I mentioned is free.  I used
it 
all the time with schematics and the like so I'm sure you
can 
use it anyway.  http://irfanview.com/

Well after a bit of running around I was able to find out
two 
things.
First you are correct the document is protected and you can 
tell by
going to file then document properties then security and it 
will tell
you what is protected. Next in a document that is not all 
protected you
can select an area with the snapshot function then go to
print 
and it
will say print graphic and it will print just the area you 
selected
filling the complete paper size.
Now if I can just unprotect the document I will be able to 
print what I
need.
