how do you do a screen print of a full window?

[Ali]

I'm not an I.T guru as you know.

There stuff out of scroll vision which i want in. Must be the full window.

Thanks - Ali

 

[Tom]

CTRL + Print screen

 

[Beef-Mc]

CTRL + Print Screen.

 

[seb]

This should help you too.

 

[Ali]

CTRL + Print screen

Read it again! I said whole screen not part screen.

Beefy. That doesn't work.

CTRL + Print screen

Why Ctrl? PrtScn by itself screen prints, Alt + PrtScn for active window. Should then be in the clipboard for pasting.

Just reread what you were looking for, don't think you can copy stuff out of view.

 

[Tom]

Why not?, alt + print screen just does the window you are working on, but if you need to capture anything with scroll bars you are screwed AFAIK

I just read the title.

Work it out yourself you rude caaant.

 

[DrR]

I've never heard of pressing CTRL first

Not a case of being rude! You just didn't read it properly!

 

[Tom]

You didn't word it properly.

A. Press print screen.

Done.

 

[Ali]

ALT doesn't work either. Cuts of the tool bar which is fine, but doesn't get the whole window in.

Never mind.

 

[Justin]

CTRL + P? I'm not sure..

 

[Tom]

No brov, that prints it out.

 

[Justin]

Isn't that what he wants? :S

 

[DrR]

It's "print screen" lol

then just paste it somewhere like paint.

I think the issue here is Ali wants a whole document screen printed... So what lies further down the page, e.g. when you scroll down. Not just what he can see on his immediate screen.

TBH, I'm not sure you can do that. I'd probably have a think about what it is you want to print... Can the document be turned into another format, like an image?

 

[Ali]

imagine you're window open (Computer screen for clarity) and you can't see the whole page! If i Print Screen it will only capture whats in view...All clear?

 

[Tom]

There's something in vista called a screen sniping tool, try that?

(Probably using XP tbh)

Told you you didn't word it properly.

Claps! Exactly...It may well not be possible! just asking! if it's not then tough i'll go without.

I have that on Windows 7 too, Tom. It's a bit like a screen print, but you can save it as a jpeg, etc.

I'll try a custom snip and see if it makes a difference...

EDIT: Nope... doesn't work. It just snips the screen you can see. Is it a word doc, Ali?

 

[Tom]

The only other (easy) way is to bang up the screen res and then print the screen.

Correct. Professional. Don't know if that makes a diff...Doubt it.

Nah. It's an ARAMARK system tool. Web based.

 

[Tom]

As in it runs in IE?

Ctrl + A, Copy and then paste it into paint/word?

 

[Needster]

Hmmm. And you can't do two screen dumps just for ease? I'd screen dump one half, paste it into paint, screen dump the other half paste that into paint and merge them together as discreetly as you can. Save as a jpeg > print.

[Ali]

Sorted. IT to the rescue. Thanks anyhoo.

 

[Tom]

How? im interested.

 

[rory182]

lol good vid.

Cant you just zoom out and do it? or copy and paste?

 

[Andy.]

I use a screen shot app called Hypersnap. It can automatically capture a full window. There are probably some free apps which can do it too.

 

[Saundo]

CRTL + P and print to file

If you're using FireFox there's a handy extension to make this a piece of cake:
