Default Re: How to take screenshots & post them in your messages

Hi, another small feature I found that you can do with Rob’s excellent screen capture tip is to capture a pacific window. So if you have multiple windows open you can click on a pacific window & capture just that window. This is done the same way as Robs tip but using Alt+print screen, instead of Ctrl+print screen. Using this you can use the restore down button on that window & drag that window area to a smaller size & capture just that open window & not the whole screen with all the other windows you may have open. Handy if you are using 1 or 2 monitors with lots of windows open.

Once you open the captured screen into MS paint, with your left mouse button you can crop out all the bits you don’t need, like the menu bars or just select the area you want & cut & paste it.

Chris.
