[WEB4LIB] Screen captures

[Lansky, Yale M. (NYC)]

You may want to try a program from Microsoft called HTML Help Editor which
includes the HTML help image editor.  It is available free from Microsoft.
It allows you to create your own online help tool (one of the purple books)
and it also allows you to capture many specific areas of your screen and
many other useful functions when inserting screen shots into documents.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Screen captures


I've done screen captures before and inserted them into instructional 
handouts and webpages - but only on a Mac.  Now that we've converted to 
PCs, I'm having trouble doing the same thing.

What I'm looking for is the technique for getting a full-screen capture of, 
say, searching our catalog via Netscape, with all the toolbars and so on, 
so that I can show students how to navigate and so on.  I've tried ALT-PRNT 
SCRN, which captures it to the clipboard, but then when I try to open it in 
Word all I get is gibberish.  I'm sure that there's an easy way to do 
this.  Anyone care to enlighten me?
