I know how to make a screenshot using prtscr but is it possible to do it so only the website is show, i.e If i were to take a screenshot of this forum it would to the whole thing top to bottom including the bits you have to scroll to see.


is that possibe in windows?
 
nope. the only thing you can do is save the web page to your desktop, and it'll save all dependant files in a folder and then the html file separately so you can open/view them offline :)

damn, how can I do it then as I have seen it done before.
 
you mean so that it comes out as a jpg? if so, i have no idea. but the way i suggested would work, too. only drawback would be that you'd have to open it with a web browser.

I know, but I need it to chuck into a word doc as part of a coursework piece.
 
Not sure what you mean, you want just the actual browser window with scroll bars and address bar, or just the actual site itself?

To do a long page you would have to double screenshot it and merge them in photoshop, no other way to do it.

Those have quite likely just been cut and shut together with PS.

No way, somone I bought a camera off transferred me a screenshot of the invoice off the website he bought it off, he did it within a minute, thats longer than it would take to run it through PS surely/.
 
easiest way would be to screen capture using the PRTSCN button then load into a paint program and crop the image as you desire.

Alternatively, pressing ALT + PRTSCN will capture the selected window only (and not the full screen!)

F11 in IE will make the browser window full screen then simply hide the toolbar and screen capture like that if you wish. it would still be better if you cropped the page borders though (as in the examples you gave above)

Ask him then, he seems to know :p

I've never heard of any other way, but there's a tool for nearly everything I suppose :)

And if it was an invoice that was only say roughly two screens tall, then no, I could probably knock that out in about a minute to be honest.
 
Would be quite easy to do if you have one of those TFT's that have a screen which can rotate. Then you can just rotate the image in Display Properties to match :)
 
Umm there is a way of doing it... at least I think this should work. File, Print Preview

Click print in the top left.

In the Effects tab select print to fit.

Back to print options, send to file.

Hey presto you should have the file as an image you can paste into word.

If that works let me know :o) I can't test it here at work.

Edit: playing with it now, I'm sure you can do soemthing like this but not sure if the method is correct. Easier option is just to set you resolution silly high so it all fits on one screen... at home thats pretty easy for me as even my now pretty pap graphics card lets me have a pretty big desktop if I want it.
