Capturing A Screen Image

[Bob Adamson]

Hi,

I would like to capture a screen image for an Excel worksheet,
including the column letters, row numbers and sheet names, and then
copy the image into PowerPoint.

I can't figure out how to capture the whole screen.

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks very much.

You don't say which XL or OS version you're using. I'll assume some
flavor of OS X. From Mac Help:

Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen

You can use keyboard shortcuts to take pictures of the screen in Mac
OS X.
- To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.

- To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4,
then drag to select the area you want in the picture.

- To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other
area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the
pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then
click. (If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press
the Space bar again.)

- If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take
the screen shot, press the Escape key.

- Screen shots are saved as PDF files on the desktop. If you want
to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a
file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys.
You can then paste the picture into a document.

You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab application
(in the Utilities folder).

Grab will create TIFF files.
