Title: Posting diagrams from ETKA
Post by: Scousus maximus on October 16, 2011, 12:28:55 pm

Sorry if this has been posted before, I did search and couldn't see it.
How do you take an illustration from ETKA  and post it onto a forum? I think I've tried everything I know but can't figure it out. No doubt when it gets explained I'll look like a numpty but hey ho, that's what these pages thrive on! :stupid:
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
John

I would use the "Print screen" button on the keyboard then open MS Paint and paste.
Save as a Jpeg and the upload to a picture hosting website like photobucket

PrintScreen will capture the whole screen whilst Alt+PrintScreen will only capture the active window.   :smiley:
