Err Umm WRONG that will only and if you are lucky capture an "active" part of the screen which may or may not be the smaller area you wanted so I say again you will have to crop
on Mac it's a bit different but it's still a cinch to capture either the full screen or just the active window (without having to buy or download any redundant software)
agreed, John... screen captures are handy... I realized long ago that most folks would rather learn "how to" do something by viewing a video or looking at screen shot images rather than reading thousands of characters of dry text

Good point about MACs Jimmie, thank you for the timely reminder. I had meant to include that fact because some time ago Peterbro had told me that by using a keystroke or keystroke sequence on a MAC one could easily make screenshots, and once Kimberly made one for me on request on her MAC but as for the CTRL+ALT option on Windoze I am never confident that that is going to work so a dedicated screen shot program suits me better.
I have just realised that screenshotting the whole page could be is a handy alternative to saving the web page complete
although the latter of course will preserve any hyperlinks and save any images on the web page.
but as an example I have just saved the entire Small talk shaggy dog story page as a single jpg , that you can scroll through as if it were the real page. It is a large and long file of 1.22 MB so I'll attach it here then if anybody would like to see it you can click on the thumbnail. Opps I cannot attach it because 1.22MB is far over the jpg attachment limit of 500KB, so I have uploaded my own thumbnail together with the full sized original. Now to get the linking syntax right!!
(if you are on a dial up I wouldn't bother clicking the following link!!!)
just read the original thread at

If your default jpg viewer is Internet Exploder it will open as a small but very long thin image.To read it mouseover to see the plus sign to enlarge it to full size.
