Screen Shots

[06 Maestro]

How does one go about taking a screen shot? I cannot use my normal utility for screen capture. I read that you can use the # tab, but I do not see anything saved.

Can someone give me a quick step by step 'how to"?

If you use the "print" key for the screen shot you want, you can then either paste it in PAINT or WORD and then save it as a .jpeg....

Thanks-appreciated.

Actually there is a screenshot-taking hotkey in the game itself, but I can't remember which one (I am at work).

Yep, its the # sign. I cant find anything in the manual as to where it is saved at.

The Print screen works-I was saving to Paint. If the number thing does the trick, I would like to use it. It may save a step or two.

For screen capturing, I use Snag-It. It's not a free program, but it is well worth the money. Snag-It works with every program I've tried. And it does work with WWI, though you lose the mouse pointer when doing the capture and save, more proof that WWI just about hijacks the system when running.

Here's a capture, with a little bit of stuff added:

Thanks Alan, I will check that out.

That's a nice program but you can draw arrows and circles with paint just as easily and for free....

You are probably right, but I'm sure Snag-It has options that Paint does not have.
