Re: Screen Print question



Hi Patti,
Unfortunatley using the Alt-printscreen option is a system function that you
cannot change the setting on. Using a third party tool to reduce the file
size is not the option you want so that is not the answer. here's a
suggestion. Have them use paint brush to paste the file in and then do a
"save as" and save the file as a jpeg. Do a screen shot test and you'llee
the difference. I did a screen shot and when saved in the default 24 bit bmp
format the file was 2.97 MB. When I saed the file as a jpeg the same screen
shot was 177kb.
