can someone remind me how to capture a screen shot?

[grasswire]

I realized that I still have the eBay auction page for the stolen election in a browser window and could capture it if I could remember how to do a screen shot.

puts it in you clipboard

alt+printscreen captures the active window only

paste it into "paint" program and save it
(ctrl-v or edit:paste on the menu)

9. It's in your clipboard memory

Now open a paint or image program and select File --> New, Edit --> Paste (or Ctrl-N, then Ctrl-V).

10. Good luck. I'm on a Mac so I can't help you. .....n/t

11. after printscreen...

open up paint and do a paste.

[grasswire]

Ha!

I saved it as a jpeg. I hope that's appropriate.

12. Open Wordpad from your start menu.

Then choose the Paste option. It will appear there.

OR you can have the page open that you want to save, go to File>Save As>try the drop down menu to choose mht file, and then sent it where you want to. Keep a file in your documents.

If it won't save as mht, then choose HTML only. I have most of my old articles, etc, saved that way. It is quicker.

15. thanks everyone...

...I have it saved as an html page now, too.

[TeeYiYi]

17. Are you going to upload it? .......n/t

13. Did you do the 2nd thing?

paste into Word Doc or even WordPad?

18. Two Steps Process

1) Simultaneously hit the Alt + PrtSc buttons, this captures whatever image is on yourscreen.

2) Paste the image into a graphic editor, like Paint, PhotoShop, etc. and save the image as you would any other graphic.


By only following the first step, you will have no outward indication that any image copying process has occured.

14. make sure the ebay window is all the way to the top

hit Alt+PrtScn, then open wordpad, click inside wordpad and hit Ctrl+v.

[madfloridian]

16. I saved it by File>Save As> mht file and sent to my articles file.

:hi:

[grasswire]

20. so now if I ftp it to my space...

....I can post the image here.

19. Even better, I saved and mirrored the html source code.

http://www.rangerrawb.com/ebaystuff.html is the new url where I'm mirroring it. Assuming my webhost doesn't kill me, it should stay there.

23. Are you the scamp that posted that to eBay in the first place?

I notice the file you mirrored looks like it was saved right after it was posted and before there was even any bidding. Welcome to DU :D

[TeeYiYi]

24. Did you notice the name of the seller? ;-) ......n/t

Not a valid item. Have they removed it?
