If you want to capture your text labels, at present you'll have to use
the Snapshot renderer. If you're using VMD 1.8.6, you should be able to
get very nice Snapshot renderings using the GLSL rendering mode, assuming
you have a modern video card.

Can you be more specific, I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here?
What version of VMD are you running? Each version of VMD has its own manual,
what section of the manual is giving you trouble? (Please give a URL to
the page)
