How to post take a picture?

[Naomi]

How can I take a picture of what appears on my screen? Do I need a software or else? Now and then, I come across pretty laughable situations and wanna share with you. I have just seen a dozen of 0/0 fleet counters on Sweden-protected Denmark. No clue how this could happen. [:'(]

With a Mac it is incredibly easy. You can even crop part of screen if you don't need it all. As for the outdated and horrible Windows OS, you must stand on one foot, close both eyes, put one hand behind your head, and with your other hand, randomly hit your keyboard until you get the result you want.[:@]

Boy, nothing snobby in that reply!

In the event that you are stuck with one of those nasty PCs, as an alternative to randomly hitting keys, you could hit the "Print Screen" key, which will paste a copy of the image to the clipboard. From there you will need some type of image editing program (Windows does include a program called "Paint" in the accessories - this has limited functionality, but will allow you to crop and save the image to a file).

or you can go to someplace like Cnet.com

and look for a screen capture program, there should be some "free" ones or you can get a trail verison of Hypersnap


or as the above post states, you can do the print screen and paint/paste from the clipboard

thank bud, I never knew how to do that

duh

Thanks. Here comes a picture of A Sailors' Party on Denmark, where the Turkish flags represent the major's (numerous) privateers.

Ok - I'll bite - what the heck caused all those Swedish fleets? (Are you Sweden?)

[Naomi]

I played merely France. No bait there to bite. I can send you a copy of my file.
