   How do you make a screen shot within a page?
   
   When you want to show an page within a page; how do you accomplish that? I see it done all the time.

   I know how to do this on a PC so apologies if you were talking about a Mac.
   
   1. Click on the Start button in bottom left hand corner.
   
   2. Click on All programs, then Accessories folder. Snipping Tool is the one you want.
   
   3. Double click on the Snipping Tool and the screen will fade slightly.
   
   4. Drag the mouse over the area you want to copy and then it will appear as an image which you can either copy and paste somewhere or save as an image to keep permanently.
   
   Hope it helps:-)

      Yes, I'm working with a PC. Oh you make this sound so easy. I'll be experimenting and see if I can repeat this. Thank you so much! :-)

   An easier approach is to use either
   
   Alt-PrtScrn
   
   or
   
   Ctrl-PrtScrn
   
   The Alt method captures the window which currently has focus, while the Ctrl method captures the entire screen.
   
   After you use either of these two-key capture methods, open your favorite graphics software (mine is Paintshop Pro, but I sometimes use Windows Paint or Paint.Net), and paste (Ctrl-V).
   
   Hope this helps.

      Ha, I was thinking, "well, I know where Alt is and I know where Ctrl is, but what is that PrtScrn?" I didn't know that button existed on my computer. Thanks for allowing me to wipe the dust off a button that I never noticed before. I grow every day!

   I'm glad to have these answers - hoping someone will post the Mac Screenshot instructions!

   If you use Google Chrome as your browser, you can get an extension called Light Shot. It allows you to take a screenshot of whatever is on your screen even just small parts if you want to.

      Georgie,
      Awesome. That is good to know. I've been fiddling with Google Chrome lately and considered using it more regularly. I'm overwhelmed by the concept of starting from square one, so this will absolutely be helpful! :-) Thanks

   Try the Awesome Screenshot extension for Google Chrome. That's what I use. It's easy to use and it works very well.

      Ha, I was thinking; "I will, what is it"?, thinking you had left out a link or something, but alas, I "Googled" Awesome Screenshot and see what you're talking about, lol. This seems very cool. Thanks
