Is it possible to print scripts or export them as images?

I'm using Scratch to introduce programming concepts in a college level course.  I'd like to be able to print simple scratch scripts for class discussion.  Is it possible?  I don't seem to be able to screen grab images and there's no indication that scripts can be exported in any format other than *.sb 

My hope is to be able to handout a script and discuss what it does in detail before letting the students loose on the computer to program and debug.  I also want to be able to pose questions about scripts on exams, so it would be nice to be able to copy a block of script into a word document. 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Yes, you can.  If you right-click (opt-click for Macs) in the Script construction area, you should see an option to "Save Picture of Scripts".  This will let you save the scripts to an image file that you can then edit, print or whatever.  I also use an external screen capture program (the Snipping tool in Vista) to grab areas of the screen for documentation purposes.
