Capturing a screen image

[Evelyn]

I frequently write material to use in my classrooms and
labs where my students use Excel XP. I would like to be
able to do an old-fashioned PrintScreen, but this doesn't
work any more. How can I print the entire screen image in
my document?

Thanks,

Evelyn

Depending on what you want, hit printscreen button or the printscreen button
in combination with Ctrl or Shift.

then go to your application, such as word or excel and do edit => Paste.
This should give a bitmap picture of the part of the screen you captured.

Hi Evelyn

If you do this a lot, you might consider spending some dollars on it. Snagit is said to be
very good, and it integrates with Excel and many other applications:

And if not, there are tons of freeware screen capture programs. Do a search on
download.com for "screen capture".

I use SnagIt and it's a very nice program. They have a COM add-in that
integrates very nicely with Office programs and IE. It costs $20 or $30
as I recall.

Before I got SnagIt, I used a freeware product called ScreenSeize, and I
liked it very much.
