Hi Wayne
Thank you for your advice. That is exactly what I have been doing as a work around.
I analyze thousands of images in batchmode. So the program has to "setBatchMode("exit and display");"  to get the screencapture and then go back into batchmode to continue. Just slows things down so I was hoping someone might have a different answer.
This does the job and it is great software!

However, when I  do, the font of the numbers shrinks to where the numbers are impossible to read. I have tried changing the font (Edit>Options>Fonts) but that doesn't work.
