RE: Copying a screen shot into a word document

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The "PrtScn" (or Print Screen) button is usually near the function keys at
the top of the keyboard.

See Suzanne Barnhill's message for the shortcut keys.

Thanks for your response, but I am not too sure what the "PrtScn" button is
that you are talking about. Otherwise this seems easy enough. Can you explain.

Thanks

I hope you mean by "I get some crazy thing that takes up the whole page" that
you get a screen shot or, if you highlighted part of the webpage, you get
that part of the webpage. Otherwise, you'll need to explain.

I have frequently inserted screenshots of webpages into my documents with no
problem (I've used to up Word 2003/XP).

1) I would hit the "PrtScn" button and paste the screenshot of the entire
webpage into a Word document.

2) Then I'd click on the image and the Picture toolbar would come up.

3) I'd then select the "Crop" button (it looks like two intersecting right
angles) and use that to pull in the edges of the image so that only the part
I want showing shows.

This may be a stupid question, but I can not figure out how to take a screen
shot of a website and insert it into a report I am doing in Word. I want to
show a comparison of two websites, so I am trying to copy the view and put it
into my word document can anyone tell me how to do this. If I try to cut and
paste I get some crazy thing that takes up the whole page. I just want to be
able to cpy the part of the web page that I need. Any help?
