USING "PRINT SCREEN"

[JOE H.]

Is there a way to print the entire screen shot in Windows
2000. I have tried the Print Screen key and get nothing.
Thanks!

Hi
probably not an Excel question

just search Google for 'screenshot program'. e.g. Paintshop Pro is able
to do this

Hi Joe

with the print screen key you need to "paste" the captured screen somewhere
... so what some of us do is use the print screen to capture the screen and
then edit / paste into Word.. or use another program designed specifically
to capture screen shots - snaggit & hypersnap are two (but i think you have
to pay for both of these)

I use Snag-It myself and it is really useful

about 5 years ago and its still going strong)

It's the full commercial version plus the Camtasia studio, the latter is
really handy if you do Excel training, just "record" how you do things, save
as [.wmv, .mov, flash or even .rm], then you can replay it using any of the
players.
Both programs are great and easy to use as well.

sounds good .. never looked into any of the "recording" type software - how
do you incorporate this into your teaching - is this mainly meant for
creating "how to" CDs or on-line classes - or do you incorporate it into
classroom style teaching as well?

Hi Peo

never thought of doing that ... might look into it in (near) future...

I actually used it in classroom teaching where I distributed it on a CD
together with other example
files although given the less than perfect quality of "how to do it" CDs it
might be a good idea going that direction as well..

Alt-PrtScr copies the active window to the clipboard.
Ctl-PrtScr copies the windows desktop (entire screen).

I don't know is PrtScr alone does anything anymore. In DOS it dumped the
screen to the printer.

Hi John

believe it or not, PrtScr alone copies the active window to the clipboard (i
only discovered this a week ago - i've always used alt & prtscr too!)
