Hi, Jim,
I do this every single day. Every day! I use a program by tech smith
called snagIt. It's not too expensive, I hear. It's paid for by the
company so I can't say that for sure. Anyway, when you have it
running, you do the following:
Set input to active window
Set output to clipboard
Find preferences and set it so there's a sound when capturing begins and ends
Once you have it set up, you use the hotkey which is control shift alt
p whenever you are on a window of any kind in any app of which you
wish to take a screen shot. You will then be in snagit's image
preview page. Press enter once again and the image is in your
clipboard as a bmp file. Alt tab to excel, word, or powerpoint ( I
use this lots in powerpoint) and just paste it where you want it. I
have the play sounds option set in ms office 2007 which plays a sound
whenever a paste is successful. I then arrow to the image and go into
the context menu. I find the size dialog and go in there to the page
on setting an alt tag. This way, I always know when I am on the
image.
Hope this helps. I would have a difficult time at work if I couldn't
do screen shots for my trainees all of whom are sighted.
Regards,
Alex M

Hi,
I've been asked to do this. Does anyone know of a fool-proof way?
Here's the scenario.
1. Go to a web page.
2. Find a defect.
3. Take screen shot of the area.
4. Paste into Excel.
As an example, I was able to spot a group of out of context links by
sorting the JAWS Links List dialog in alphabetical order. Five links
said the same thing.
Thanks.
Jim
