Capture form to use in manual

[henniec]

Good day,

In Access 2003 there was a method to capture a form and paste it into Word with out the need to do any crop work in Word. Only the form was captured and not the screen. Is there a similar method in Access 2007?

Thank you.

I do not know of any method in either. The only trick is to set the form to popup and then put focus on the form. Alt prt scrn.

What's wrong with using "print to file" in the print dialog?

If you can't get what you want with ALT+PRTSCN you could always use MWSnap (free) or the Win 7 snip tool.

In all my documentation I paste my screen caps into Irfanview (also free) since I can use the paint tools to draw squares/ovals etc to illustrate the button/control I want to highlight. Paste the result into Word. Quick, easy and free.

You can also use JING Project (free version available)

Can do screen captures or select a portion of the screen, annotations, and live screen "video tutorials" capture.

Thanks for all the replies.

MajP was right with the Alt/printscreen. I tried ctrl/printscreen and it obviously did not work.

This method dates back to atleast Access 95 where I used it for the fist time.

Setting the property to popup release it from Access that enables ALT/printscreen to capture a clean image of the form.

Once again: Thanks.
