Did you use the shift key? and which program (MS Word, etc.) did you paste from the clipboard? What about Matt’s suggestion:
“I love this trick, especially because you don’t even have to leave the keyboard.

once you hit “prnt scrn” then hit “windows button” + R to bring up the “run” prompt, then simply type in the word “mspaint”

even shorter shortcut”
Currently I use FireFox addon called Pixlr to grab defined areas, save to my desktop then upload or attach as needed. Let me know…

Very handy list, thanks. It's good to have 'snipping' type tools. I use Fireshot, a Firefox add-on and MS Image Composer when I want to add text. See my suggestions for John – you may want to personalize the 'admin' and look at the 'resouce' in tagline. The homepage is great in giving new visitors so many posts to choose from. well organized.

Always good to find that 'tip in time.' Your template is nice with the touch of green. I'd suggest an 'about' page to give readers more background. Definitely get a gravatar. You have a perfect logo symbol for a favicon— get going on the branding that helps with credibility. see

This is a basic keyboard shortcut for screen capture and it'll be useful for newbies. Another option (Vista users) you can use Snipping Tools. For a complete list of keyboard shortcut (Vista), read it from here http://osforyou.blogspot.com/2009/08/complete-lis...

You can experiment a bit with resizing the image after you paste into Photoshop. Start with the exact portion of the screen you need by cropping away things that don't need to print. Turn off 'anti-lasing' [try leaving on also to see the effect]. Convert to 'indexed colors' then increase the DPI to 288. This reduces the print size but gives you higher quality print [caution text may still be too small to read]. You can also try 144 DPI to see difference.
Then use 'CMYK' for printing and save it as TIFF since jpg compression may mess things up for next time…
Let me know. Anyone else have ideas on this?

Also why do you need to print — will saving as a PDF work if it's for historical puposes? Also if color not important try black and white printing…
