Thanks for the tip Volker. I searched the mailists and found it on this 
thread[1]. I've copied the important details below.

================

a) Take them under Ubuntu Linux, using the Ambiance theme, with *no*
visual effects.

b) Take the *window only* with the window frame - not the whole desktop.

c) 1000px wide by 750px tall - you can use Screen Ruler to accurately
size the window.

e) Anything up to a dozen good shots from each app is what I'm hoping
to accumulate.... in each app, demo the key features: in Writer,
tables, indexes, etc..... I'm sure you see what I mean....

f) The file you use for taking the screenshot should ideally be called
"sample.odt" (or whatever extension)

================

This is different from Florian's suggestion and it looks like of lesser 
quality, so we should adopt Florian's suggestions.

Cheers

Marc

BTW ... I use Mandriva Linux, but have tailored my theme, desktop to 
look like the Ambience colours theme and desktop theme is laOra.
