Allotments 4 All

I wish to print a screen of information as it appears on the monitor, ie a screen shot, as if I had photographed the monitor. Any ideas?
I have a file of photos which when displayed as a list is organised in the order I want them, But when I try to print, a the order is different and b. it wants to print the photos, not the details which is what I want.
If I highlight the details and copy and paste into Word, again what is copied is not what appears on the screen and is in  the order in the original file,not as it appears on screen.
I could just sit and write down the details, but it seems rather a lot of work (a big long list) when I ought to be able to just PRINT the stuff.

And why does one always lose the right-hand inch of a web page when printing?? = Tim

Still working on that one Tim. But cracked my question. Needed to download a Screenshot printer program. Did it, done it.
This is the advice given on the Help Screen of my ISP
Internet pages are inherently bad at printing out as they usually only print out ¾ of the web page, this is why downloadable documents on the web are usually in a .pdf format. Try pressing the print screen key and pasting the page into a word document
Not tried this.

Hi Eric

Easy peasy !! No need to download a special prog, just use Print Screen button on keyboard, open Word, Edit, paste then print !  ;D

Sorry, this is what I assumed I would do, but nothing happens.

Works for me :)

Oh Roy !  Thought you would have the answer to Eric's no show problem !!  ;)

Will drag my teenage whiz-kid off the footie pitch to help you Eric!!   ;D

I just followed your instructions Magpie. 8) Sorry I can't be of help Eric :-[ :'(

Tis alright. I have done what I wanted to do,now all I have to do is go through all the pictures and reneame them in such a way that the dratted machine saves them in the order I want them in. I can use the list I have printed to pull them up in the right order from the original file. Why it could not just sort them into the order I want in the first place is beyond me. And don't tell me how, all three of us have tried to do it for months now, AND none of the suggested solutions work. Everytime it just puts them back to the original and wrong order.

Great Eric!

Just a tip for anyone else trying this. Don't open Word first, as all you get is a copy of blank screen shot !! Press keyboard button then open Word!

Very handy facility  :)

Didn't know till tonight that there was such a button!! = Tim

My favourite - press the Alt key and the PrintScreen.  You get a screenshot of the current window only; not the whole screen  :)

All best - Gavin

Gavin,

that is amazing.  A wonderful trick.  Now I am going to bed, absolutely shattered. Reffing an U/13 rugby match at 11, and playing 3 x 20min games in the afternoon.

regards,

Nothing here!! And if you Cap+Alt+Screen, you get 'large print'!  = Tim

You might try getting Irfinview, its a free graphics viewer from here >>>>

Sorry that sounds like spam but I recommend this software to everyone. Amongst many features you can use it to rename existing graphics or cut and paste into it as you wish.

If you give your pictures numbers you need to start with 01, 02, 03 etc to 09 to keep 1, 11, 111 or 2, 22, 222, etc apart. I think thats what you were asking. I wouldn`t use MS Word to handle graphics but MS Publisher is very good if you have it.
