It works! There is only a problem: If I want to describe a procedure, for example how to open a new file in word, if I press "ALT" I loose the actual File Menu listing so can't catch the image!!
ALT+Print Screen gives you the active window. Print Screen or CTRL+Print Screen give you the entire screen, from which you can crop out the menu you want to show.
EXTRA TIP: After you paste the screen shot into Word, Imeediately cut it again, then reinsert using Edit>Paste Special and choosing a different file format like JPG. Screenshots by default are pasted in as Enahanced Metafiles. Cutting the repasting them as JPEGs will reduce your file size by an order of magnitude.
ONLY hit printscreen to capture the entire page. Then crop it in MSPAINT to get the section you want, then save it as a PNG so you dont lose the sharpness of the image.
If you will put a carriage return in your Word document and then paste your screen shot after that CR, then press End and then another carriage return, you will then be able to document the screen shot without it evaporating.
Using Snagit in "Image Capture" mode, set up your MS Word screen as you want it, with drop down list showing, and press <Ctrl> <Shift> <P>. This will bring up a box, without disturbing the drop down lists, which you can adjust before saving your captured image.
Great little program - use it all the time for my teaching notes.
