Thread: Advance screenshots

Your instructions on taking screenshots were most helpful, but I would like to take several screenshots in succession to then be included in a Word document. Pressing the PrtSc button several times does not work because only the last screens hot is inserted into Word when I press Paste. It is frustrating to have to keep switching to and from Word. Is there some way to make this easier?

The software for taking screengrabs supplied with Windows can store only one
image in the clipboard at a
time. This is partly due to the fact that the Clipboard can normally only hold one item at a time. Office can improve on this, but normally only within Office.

The easiest way to take several grabs without interrupting anything is to use some different screen capture software. A particularly good one is called Gadwin Print Screen and it can be downloaded from www. gadwin.com. As well as being a lot more flexible than the standard Print Screen utility, it can capture the mouse cursor. Once it is installed, right-click on the icon in the Notification Area (it looks like a screen with a camera in front of it) and select Properties. Left-click on the Destination icon in the left-hand column. A message may appear saying that a folder does not exist and that Gadwin would like to create it. Click on Yes.

Click in the box labelled 'Copy captured area to File' so that a tick appears. Click on the Automatic naming option. You can enter a name into the File name text box. This is useful for grouping screenshots together. It is possible to change the Capture Directory, but there is no real need to do so. Make a note of it for when it is time to import the screenshots into Word.

Left-click on the Preferences icon and then on the down arrow in the Hot key section. Scroll up through the I ist and select PrintScreen. Gadwin will show a preview of the screen capture to make sure it is right. lfthis is distracting click in the boxes 'Show notification message' and 'Preview the captured image'. Now go and take the screenshots, pressing the PrtScr key each time.It is not possible to use the paste shortcut to copy these images into Word, the Insert Picture command'll1ust be used instead. Left-click on the View menu, then Toolbars and then Drawing.

The toolbar may appear at the bottom of the document on some computers. To insert a picture, click on the Insert picture button in the toolbar. It is the ninth icon from the right and looks like a picture of two mountains and the sun. Use the window that appears to find the screenshots. Left-click on the screenshot once and then click on Insert. The picture can be resized by clicking and dragging the white squares around.

The process for inserting an image into Word 2007 is a little different. Once the screenshots have been made, start Word and then click on the Insert tab second from the left just above the ribbon. Left-click on the Picture icon in the Illustrations section. After that, the image can be resized in the same way as previous versions of Word.
