How to copy?

[Big_Dave]

I've seen people copy the current page (graphics and all) and paste it in a post.

How do you copy the page as it shows on the screen? :wtf:

Highlight it Dave and then right click. Then click on "copy". Then when you get to where you want to post it right click on the open space (where you type) and then hit "paste". Piece of cake!

To highlight you hold the left cursor button down and move it over what you want to highlight.

That's copy & paste of text only.

I wanna know how to put the viewable screen in a post.

Well ya lost me on that one. Sorry.

Dave, I can't really help with your question - i think you have to take a screen shot and post it as an image...

I did want to give a quick shortcut to learn...

Highlight text you want to copy...

Hold "Control" and "C" down at the same time... You have copied the highlighted text.

Now by holding "Control" and "V" down at the same time... You have pasted the previously copied text.

"Control" + "X" = Cut
"Control" + "P" = Print

Very useful, once you've got the hang of it... Can be used anytime you are able to highlite something, even when you can't right click...

Oh, I think I know what you're asking. Just hit the "print screen" key. That copies a shot of your desktop (browser window, task bar..everything) onto the clipboard. Then, open your favorite image-editing program and hit CNTRL-V into a NEW file. Resize (if desired), Save, and there's your image.

There is a free program called "MWSnap" that allows you to take a screen shot of all or anypart of your screen.
I would give you a link to the site you can get it, but the rules here says I can not. So if you can't find it with google or another search engine, just pm me and I will send you a link.
This is a much better application than the 'Print Screen' option that comes with your computer. And it allows you to save the screen shot in several formats, from jpeg to onv and gif format.
