Capturing Screens

Post by BobH »

Can someone please remind me how to capture screenshots of drop down lists? I need to capture a list of options shown on my screen to sent to someone, but the menu choice lists disappear when I invoke a snipping tool.

:cheers: :chocciebar: :thankyou:

If you have a dedicated screen capture app (like PicPick, etc), you can just press the Print Screen button on the keyboard and the app will freeze the screen and allow you to drag a selection on it. As Joe indicates, the key is to use the keyboard to capture the active screen and not use the mouse to click a button to take a screen shot.

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

Thank you, both!

I had tried the CTL-PRTSCN but failed to first load and minimize the snipping tool. Works a treat now!
