How to Make a Screen Shot for your ITGS Project

Capturing the Image

• Press the print screen button on the keyboard.
• This stores the image of the screen in the computer's memory.
• Now we need to paste the image into a program to print it or edit it. In this example we will use Microsoft Word and Adobe Fireworks.

Screenshots in Microsoft Word

• Open a new Word document.
• Paste the image from the computer's memory into the word document.
• Now you can use the drawing tools and editing tools to crop, add comments, or draw circles/arrows to the screenshot.

Screenshots in Fireworks

• Open a new Fireworks file.
• Fireworks will recognize the size of the screenshot in the computer's memory. The file size should be 1280 x 1024 pixels on the school computer.
• Paste the screenshot into the new file.
• This file is 17 inches wide and way to big to use for your logbook or final paper.
• To resize to a better size, go to Modify > Canvas > Image Size.
• Change the width to 6 inches. The width will automatically adjust.
• Use the drawing and text tools to add the additions you need.
• Save the file and/or print to place in your logbook or final paper.
