So this is the easiest way for me:<BR/><BR/>1. Go to the screen you want to make into a screen shot.<BR/><BR/>2. For laptops, press together the blue Fn key and the Insert key (which is the blue Prnt Scrn key). If you have a regular desktop instead, Press together the Alt key and Prnt Scrn/Sys Req key.<BR/><BR/>3. Go to MS Paint (Click Start, Go to All Programs, Open Accessories, Click on Paint).<BR/><BR/>4. Go to Edit menu, then Click on Paste.<BR/><BR/>5. Go to File menu, then Click on Save As. You can rename your file and save it as PNG or JPG or whatever file you like. Just remember which folder you're using to save your screenshot.<BR/><BR/>Happy screen shots making :)eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-61802583676014806202008-10-16T21:55:00.000-04:002008-10-16T21:55:00.000-04:00Tips:Kaz asked:How do you replace the word 'commen...<B>Tips</B>:<BR/><BR/>Kaz asked:<I><B>How do you replace the word 'comments' with something witty - like Garfer.</B></I><BR/><BR/><B>Answer</B><BR/><BR/>1.

(see where it says “Compose” above “Preview”?) Click on “Compose” if you’re not already in compose mode.<BR/><BR/>Highlight the word or sentence that you want to change colour. (Don’t highlight more than one line at a time or it will run all your sentences together in a row.)<BR/><BR/>See the black letter “T” with the colour chart beside it in the toolbar? If you hover your cursor over it, you’ll see that it says “Text Color”.<BR/><BR/>Click on it.<BR/><BR/>Find the colour you want and click on it. (Make sure your text is highlighted first.)<BR/><BR/>Press “SAVE NOW” at the bottom and then preview your work.<BR/><BR/>As you’re working on the post, it might default from time to time to “Edit HTML” mode instead of “Compose” mode which is fine if you’re not planning to change another colour. If you need to play with colour again, just go into “Compose” mode again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>CHANGING FONT SIZE:<BR/><BR/>Do as instructed in my previous instructions but instead of clicking on “Text Color”, click on the double “T’s”. If you hold your cursor over the double T’s, you’ll see it says “Font Size”.<BR/><BR/>Select your font size and away you go.<BR/><BR/>Just make sure that before you select your font size, you highlight the word you want made bigger or smaller.<BR/><BR/>Let me know how it goes.The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24611442.post-81039395982688278012008-10-16T19:59:00.000-04:002008-10-16T19:59:00.000-04:00I want to know how to change the colours of words ...I want to know how to change the colours of words when doing a post - never mind in the comments! <BR/><BR/>And how do you change the size of the letters so that a word appears larger or smaller than the rest?<BR/><BR/>Mago: I was a typesetter many years ago before desktop publishing came along - used a machine with font strips that were like negatives. Pasted up everything using a lightboard and paper with thin light blue lines. And had to wax the strips of typesetting and paste it on the graph paper. Borders came on little rolls and stuck on. Used exacto knives all the time to position everything. Even did freehand graphics for stuff! Was fun and creative. Made plates of the finished thing in the camera room that was put on the press and inked with real, sticky ink. Not like today when things are all computerized and automated.Ponita in Real Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886875733169389887noreply@blogger.com
