Help, how do I capture image from web please?
« on: Wednesday 23 May 07 16:49 BST (UK) »
I have found some ancestors on the immigration site for the USA ( Ellis island) it's free to search and I can print off the passenger record which gives very limited information, I can enlarge the ships manifest but I can't print it, if i right click I ge tthe message this action is disabled, and I've tried pressing all sorts of combinations for print screen - nothing, I don't want a fancy certificate just a normal print out, any ideas , I do understand they want me to order the nice cert but it's not a direct line
I've also got a sticking keyboard which is driving me nuts so please excuse the missed keystrokes!

Some of these pages are disabled so you can't print them.  You could try opening a word document, then going back to the ships manifest and copy and paste into the word document.

Press Ctrl & Print Scrn, then open Word or your graphics program & then Paste. Then you can print as you would any document or picture.
Click the Full Screen button first, to avoid getting the tool bars on your image  :)

Hope this helps
Betty

 ;D Not sure if that's clear, press Full Screen before Ctrl & Print Scrn to avoid the toolbars!

Hi Newbie,

I use Screenhunter 5.0 this is free, if you google for Screenhunter and download it its great for getting things from the web.

this was taken from the web, so you can see how easy it is.
