Screen copy

[iburnell]

This is probably a really easy one. How do you do an Alt/Printscreen in VMWare Workstation to take a copy of the current screen and put into into a Word doc for user documentation??

Thanks

VM>Capture Screen

Thanks - that works to a fashion

Is there no way to just copy/paste to/from the clipboard like Alt/Printscreen does. Also it dumps the whole screen not just the open window

I use Gadwin Printscreen for my screen captures. It works great and is free.

I've used it within VM's with no problem.

Well, you can still Alt-PrtScr and paste into Paint inside your guest to just get an image of the focused window. Then just copy the image files to your host for your documentation.

Thanks - makes sense

In Workstation 6.5 you can now capture the screen directly to the clipboard by pressing CtrlAltPrintScreen. It is the whole screen though.

I use the accessibility tool on screen keyboard and do a standart Alt+PrtScn combo and open MSPaing and Ctrl +V. Works great.
