How to take a picture of a page in Word. How to take a screenshot of a page in a couple of seconds
There are times when you just need to take a picture of a page on the Internet. How to take a screenshot? It's simple? Of course, yes, but there are also such users who do not know this (everyone has a different period of using a computer and there is nothing strange in this). Let's consider this question in more detail. The article is written for those who are just mastering the PC.
How to take a picture of a page on the Internet
My first thought was just to take a picture. We take a camera and stupidly photograph. And we see that the picture is not very good.
We use standard operating system tools
To do this, simply press the Prt Scr (Print Screen) key on the keyboard. This is the button on the keyboard:
After pressing this key, the screenshot goes to the clipboard, i.e. it resides in the computer's RAM. Now in any graphics editor you can insert and see this picture. By the way, this can be done even in word.
Option to insert a picture in word. Open a word document.
We put the cursor in the place where we want to insert the photo (the horizontal cursor “blinks”) and select the “Insert” command with the RIGHT mouse button.
Everything. Photo inserted.
The best option is to save a screenshot in a graphics editor
Press the Prt Scr key (Print Screen - print screen). We open the editor. Button Start—All programs—Standard—Paint.
Paint opens and now click on the "Paste" icon. Or press the key combination "Ctrl + V". (Ctrl + V is the standard keyboard shortcut for pasting information from the clipboard).
We see that the screenshot has appeared. now it needs to be saved. To do this, in the upper left corner on the icon.
And save the image of excellent quality to your computer.
I have seen images on the Internet many times in which the entire site was visible from beginning to end. The need for such a picture arises when it is necessary to visually assess how your site or a separate page of it will look completely. But the standard built-in tools of the operating system, in particular the key function " Prt Scr» copies to the clipboard only the visible part, or the entire screen, or the active window (combination « Alt+Prt Scr«).
Screenshot (screenshot, screen or screenshot, English screenshot) - an image received by a computer and showing exactly what the user sees on the monitor screen or other visual output device. Typically, this digital image is obtained by the operating system or another program at the user's command.
The easiest way to take a screenshot for Microsoft Windows operating systems is to use the PrtScr key (for the entire screen) or the Alt + PrtScr key combination (for the current window) on the keyboard. In this case, the picture is copied to the operating system clipboard and can then be pasted and, if necessary, edited in any graphics editor, for example, in Paint, which is included in the standard set of Windows applications. Also, in most cases, the snapshot can be pasted into a word processor such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer.
(material from wikipedia)
In order for the image of the entire page, no matter how large it is, to be in one figure (in one file), you must use the following recommendations.
How to take a screenshot of the entire site
Everything is easier than it seems. I found two free solutions:
Let's consider both options.
ScreenPage.ru is a service of snapshots (screenshots) of web pages "in full growth"
Laconic design. Everything is so simple and clear that there is nothing to describe.
In order to take a screenshot of the entire page of the site, go to http://screenpage.ru/ and enter the address we need, then the email address and click the "take a picture" button. And in a few seconds or minutes (the time depends on the queue length and server load), a snapshot image of this page will be created, even if it occupies several screens in height. Next, a link to the screenshot will appear on the screen, by clicking on which we can view or download it. Also, a screenshot will be sent to you by the email you specified.
FireFox Browser Add-on - ScreenGrab
Screengrab add-on! saves web pages as images. The created image can be copied to the clipboard or saved to a file. The file name format can be flexibly configured as you wish. The button in the browser add-ons menu bar can be customized for different actions. By default, the image of the entire site is copied to the clipboard.
You can download (install) the add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/screengrab-fix-version/ , or by visiting the site of the author Alexander Popov
Usage impressions
Both proposed options have their advantages. ScreenPage.ru- makes you platform-independent. You access the online service in any way convenient for you (from a computer, tablet, phone) and at any time convenient for you, take a screenshot and receive it by mail.
Addition Screengrab allows you to take a screenshot of what you see exactly at the moment. After all, the next time you visit, the picture may be different. In other words, I saw something interesting - instantly, by pressing one button, I made a copy of the screen.
The developers of operating systems for computers simply could not help but foresee the natural desire of future users to take a picture of a page of the site and did not provide for this special Screenshot function, which allows, in the literal sense of this phrase, to take an instant screenshot, although according to the "Runet" custom, screenshot "in translation" is left as a screenshot.
Press PrtScrn - get a screenshot
The Screenshot function is implemented by simply pressing the PrtScrn key, or PrtScrn/Sys Rq, or PrtSc+Fn (in netbooks and some laptop models). Those who "lost" this key on the keyboard should immediately look to the right and up. Usually PrtScrn is located to the right of the F12 button, it can be located under the power control keys (more precisely, under the Power), but always next to the Insert key.
By pressing PrtScrn, we, like clicking the camera shutter, take a screenshot, sending it to the clipboard. To "develop" a photo, just go to any graphic editor and "lay out the contents of the pocket" there by clicking the "Paste" button, or by selecting Ctrl + V. But in Photoshop, you will first have to "Create" a document in the "File" menu, and then "Paste" the contents of the clipboard in the "Edit" menu. You can even "Insert" a picture on the "Home" page in Microsoft Word, but if you need the image itself, you will have to copy it and open / save it again in some graphics editor.
"Developing" a screenshot in Paint
It is possible that some of the users who are interested in how to take a picture of a page on a computer do not pay attention to the modest Paint editor that all Windows owners have, and it is in it that they usually paste screenshots taken with the PrtScrn key, because it's fast, convenient, and the screenshot can be edited there.
Among the programs in the Start menu, the Paint editor may not be (when rarely used), in which case you need to get it from the "Accessories" folder and pin it to the taskbar (just in case).
Having unloaded the clipboard in the editor after clicking on the PrtScrn button, you will immediately notice that the snapshot completely captures the visible part of the screen, and if we pressed PrtScrn + Alt, we would get a snapshot of only the active window.
If you do not need the upper part of the browser header for the screenshot, you can switch to full screen mode by pressing F11, and then exit it in the same way.
Cutting the page with scissors
If some owners of Windows 7,8 and Vista do not know how to take a picture of a page on the Internet, they should again look at the Start menu, where in the Standard folder, in addition to the Paint editor, there should be the Scissors application, a direct responsibility which is the creation of screenshots. The application file with its "real" name Snipping Tool.exe is buried deep in the "System32" folder in the "Windows" directory.
Having opened the application on the desired page, we select with the mouse either the entire screen, or only the active window, or a rectangular and even arbitrary shape. We release the button, and the fragment jumps into the application markup window, where, before saving the file, they allow you to draw on the screenshot with a multi-colored, and even customizable, pen, marker, erase with an elastic band, copy your art into your pocket and even send it to the address (electronic).
In this way, you can both take a picture of a page on the Internet, and take a screenshot of the monitor with any content, with the exception of the open Start menu, since the application "sits" there. Therefore, in the latter case, having opened the application, you need to press the Esc key to "remove the veil" from the screen, open the "Start" menu, then select the key combination Crtl + PrtScrn (copy to "Scissors") and select the area of \u200b\u200bthe desired shape to create a screenshot.
Alternative Tools
In order to install one of these extensions, for example, in the Mozilla browser, you need to go to "Tools", open "Add-ons", type in the name of the application or extension (for example, Screengrab) and click the "Install" button if you are not tempted to another service from a dozen offered by Screengrab upon request (ScreenShotLink, Grab and drag, ImageHost Grabber, Fullscreen, etc.).
For example, consider how to take a picture of a page on a computer using the Screengrab plugin for the Mozilla browser.
After installing the add-on, its icon will firstly appear in the extensions panel, and secondly, in the "Tools" menu.
As you can see, there are three options for "photographing": "Save", "Copy" and "Upload" (Upload), in each of which, in turn, you can capture the "Entire page", "Visible part" or "Selection".
The Upload function will upload the screenshot to www. s3blog. org, where the file can be stored for up to 30 days.
Do not forget to select the format (PNG or JPEG) of saved screenshot files in the add-on settings.
Here is a small selection of programs with which you can both take a picture of a page and edit it: ScreenSnag, GreenShot, LightShot, JShot, Screenshot Creator, ScreenCapture, Shotnes, Screenpresso, SuperScreen, DuckCapture, Clip2Net, EasyCapture, PicPick, Clip2Net, Screenshot Captor , FastStone Capture, Ashampoo Snap, Granty and 5CM Uploader.
Little tricks"
Perhaps there will be users who may think about how to take a picture of a page on the Internet if the necessary content of the page does not fit in the browser window. In this case, you can press F11 (commands "Full screen", "Full screen", etc. depending on the browser), or reduce the scale of the page by selecting the combination - Ctrl + (-).
You can paste the contents of the clipboard not only with the usual Ctrl + V key combination, but also with the Shift + Insert combination. Maybe for someone it is more convenient.

Since I wanted to create a series of articles on how to work with images on the blog, it became necessary to write a few materials about the basics of working with images.

Taking a screenshot of a page with Paint
You will need: hands and the Paint program. You may not know, but you already have it, if you use Windows, it is included by default in the standard software package. I worked with her in ancient versions of Windows.
Taking a screenshot in Paint.
In the process of creating a website, sooner or later we are faced with the need to learn how to take pictures from a computer screen, which is necessary for a variety of tasks - from creative to communicating with technical support.
What is a screenshot?
A screenshot is a screenshot of a computer, or rather, what is shown on it. Moreover, the picture is taken in the computer itself. You can take a screenshot of a web page, any photo, program, and even text. Here is an example screenshot of text in Word:
I know how to take a screenshot of a page in several ways, but I usually use one. I am not a designer and I know photoshop at the household level, because I have been working with texts all my life and my main program was Word. But a screenshot used to be required from time to time. And I did it in a very simple PAINT program, which is in any Windows. What I like about this program:
- It allows you to crop the screenshot.
- Resize in pixels or percentage.
- Draw something: an arrow, select an element with an oval, etc.
- Rotate image from left to right.
- Make some inscription.
- Erase what you don't need and fill it with any color.
By writing the text on the screenshot, you will get such a small home-made banner or postcard (if you are interested in how to make a banner that opens in a new window, there is a separate article on this topic ““). Screenshot with text looks like this:
If you want to learn how to turn an image into an active link to any page on your blog or a third-party resource, an article will come in handy. Which can also be useful for a blogger.
Today we will learn how to take not only a simple screenshot, but also, as a bonus, with text, which will come in handy more than once in the future, especially if you have your own blog.
Instructions "How to work in the Paint program"
- To create a screenshot, you need to open the page you want to "take a picture" and press a single button on the keyboard. It is usually located in the very top row and is called Prt Sc(print Screen). Everything, the frame is taken.
- 2. Open the Paint program. To do this, go to the START menu - ALL PROGRAMS - STANDARD - PAINT - OPEN. The program will load and the main window will open:
- 3. Insert a screenshot into the program. In step 1, we saved it - it is in the buffer, now it needs to be transferred to any program in order to save it as an image. To do this, simply click on the INSERT icon in the upper left corner (highlighted in a red circle in the picture).
- 4. Save. If you want the whole image (a screenshot of a computer screen), you can save the image at this stage. Click on the floppy disk icon in the upper left corner (highlighted with a blue circle). A new window will appear:
In the topmost field, set the path where you save the file.
In the FILE NAME field enter the name of the screenshot. Preferably in Latin, in English - especially if you save a photo or screenshot for a blog. In general, it’s better to immediately get used to saving all files in Latin - it’s more correct that way. For example, when restoring a blog from a backup, images named in Cyrillic usually disappear. Then you have to manually return each. I neglected the rule until the first backup ...
In the FILE TYPE field select extension. I usually choose JPEG - it weighs less. At the end, click SAVE. And that's it, the screenshot is ready!
How to crop a screenshot
If you need a part of the screen, then the screenshot must be cropped before saving. We return to point 3: we inserted a screenshot into the program.
Go to the tab VIEW - REDUCE.
Go back to the HOME tab and click on the CUT button. The cursor will become a crosshair.
Hold down the left mouse button and select the desired screen fragment - the area will be highlighted with a dotted line.
Right-click on the selected fragment. Click COPY.
Now the copied fragment needs to be pasted into a blank document and saved. In the lower figure, this is the zone highlighted with a red oval: click on the small white arrow, select CREATE in the drop-down window. A blank sheet opens. Click on INSERT. The fragment appears in the window. Press SAVE (disk icon) and save as in step 4.
How to put an inscription or text on a screenshot
And the promised bonus. If you need to make some inscription on the screenshot, before saving, enter the text editor menu (in the figure above it is letter A highlighted in blue circle). Then click on the area of the screen where you want to create an inscription, and holding the left mouse button, select the desired area. A dotted box will appear in which you can write text.
in the red oval : Select a font and font size.
green oval : Select the font color.
blue oval: transparent or opaque background below the text.
When the inscription is ready, click anywhere on the screen with the mouse to exit the editor. And save the image as described above. Your postcard is ready!
Now you know not only how to take a screenshot of a page, but you also know how to work with the Paint program. It is easy, understandable and always at hand. When you get used to it, you will take screenshots in a couple of minutes.
