David,
Take care here. PrtScn on its own will print the whole, entire screen. Alt and
PrtScn will only copy the window in focus.
For example, you may have maximised your application, and even have a screen
shot of that.
You then perhaps open the application's "Options" dialog and want to show that.
In most circumstances all you really want to show is just that Options dialog
rather than the whole screen.
Bear in mind also that full screen shots can be quite large files. Also, if
they are to be part of a printed manual, they may well be scaled down to the
point where they are just too small to read. For example, my own screen is 21
inches wide. If I was to include the whole screen in an A4 document, it would
be reduced to 1/3rd of that.
George

John,
I am told that a press of the PrintScreen key will coppy an image of the screen
to the clipboard which you will then need to paste into a Word document for
example.
I used to do this some time ago and think I used AltPrintScreen or
ControlPrintScreen but I have just been told that PrintScreen by itself is all
you need.

Subject: [access-uk] best accessible screen capture tool
Hi everybody, I've been asked by terabyte support to send screenshots. What is
the easiest accessible tool for taking screenshots. Surprisingly I've never
done it before, at least I can't remember ever having done it.
Hope someone can help,
John.
