enable scrolling when doing screen clippings

[tomono]

I love the screen clipping function but would like the option to scroll on a
web page to capture an image longer than one screen size.

And how would you propose that it could even be done? thats almost
impossible! (keyword almost...)
Why not just print the webpage to onenote?

If you were to be able to scroll while doing a capture.. how would it know
where to take the next snapshot, and where to 'splice' the images together?
just remember the clipping is just a raster graphic of what is being shown
on the screen... and not much more than that...
There is a powertoy for onenote that will automatically scroll for you...
but it doesnt take any selection except the entire webpage... IE to Onenote

I think you need to rethink the idea, and understand how the screen clipping
works... it's unimaginable from a programming standpoint to be able to do
that...

Tomono,

I use a nifty and inexpensive screen capture program called Snagit. There
are several settings, including an automatic scroll to capture the entire
page or "scroll to capture region." The region capture allows you to start
the capture in the visible screen area and scroll as far down the page as
necessary to include material below the visible screen. You can set Snagit to
copy to the clipboard, and simply paste into OneNote. Its bigger features are
editing; the capture goes to an editing page where you can adjust size,
color, and other elements, then copy to another program or save to a file.

Snagit sits in the toolbar of all Office programs, so it's almost as simple
to click the Snagit icon in the toolbar as it is to click the OneNote icon in
the system tray. For small, one-screen captures I use OneNote's Screen
Clipping; for longer captures or editing captures, I use Snagit.
