The following feebie will do everything you mentioned very quickly. Gadwin PrintScreen http://www.gadwin.com/download/ (scroll down to: Gadwin PrintScreen 4.3) I have it set so all I have to do is: 1) Press...Print Screen... 2) Drag a box around the content I wish to save... 3) Press enter... The screen shot is immediately saved as a .jpg in a folder of my choice. -- John Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |

| | Re: What's the quickest way to publish a screen grab on the web? I bought FastStone Capture [NOT SPAM] but only because I like it and use it a lot. (Note: You can download previous, free versions of FastStone Capture.) IrfanView (www.irfanview.com) has a screen capture option.

| | Re: What's the quickest way to publish a screen grab on the web? Why do you need Word? Hit the Print Screen key (next to F12). Open Paint (Programs, Accessories, Paint). Edit, Paste. Click on Select button (rectangle made of dashed lines). Click on one corner of the wanted area. Holding down the left mouse button, move the mouse to put the dashed rectangle around the data area. Edit, Cut. File, New. Click No to the Save question. Edit, Paste. File, Save As. Put the file name in quotes.
