What kind of computer are you using to do this? I ask because screenshot 
features vary a bit depending on make and OS.

If you are using Microsoft a recent OS, you could use the Snip and Sketch app 
to take the screenshot. If you use the "Snip in 3 Seconds" or "Snip in 10 
Seconds" tools, you might be able to set up your screen as you like, then snip.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [CODE4LIB] Capturing Graphics for a Handout

My esteemed listmates,

I'm trying to capture a graphic of what the screen should look like for a 
handout I'm creating in Word.

I don't seem to have enough finders.

I hold down the logo key + the Shift + the letter S and start dragging.

On a LAPTOP, I must then press the fn key + the printscreen to capture what's 
on screen.

Is there another way to capture the capture function as you drag the 
rectangular feature over a graphic with the Magnifier on?

If I do capture a graphic when I paste that into Word they appear tiny so I'm 
using the magnify at 200%.

Thank you.

Charles.
