Great tip from Jacqui – Be aware also that most screenshots are in PNG format (and therefore large) – so I’d recommend you resize them to fit your blog posts (600 pixels wide MAXIMUM – 450 pixels wide recommended) and convert them into JPG to reduce their impact on your blog storage allowance.
Tech Tips for Writers is an occasional post on overcoming Tech Dread. I’ll cover issues that friends, both real-time and virtual, have shared. Feel free to post a comment about a question you have. I’ll cover it in a future Tip.
Q: I push ‘PrintScreen’ (or PrtScn) and nothing happens.
I have to teach this as a full-blown lesson in my classes because it is so counter-intuitive.
- When you push PrintScreen, it saves a copy of your screen to the clipboard. Now, you must tell the computer where to put it.
- For example, open MS Word and a new document. Paste (using Ctrl+V or right click+paste or the icon on the toolbar–or Edit-paste) and a copy of your screen will appear as a picture.
It can be pasted into docs, emails, cards, wherever you’d like. Just don’t forget to paste it!
