(The file is saved as PDF in Mac OS 10.3 and earlier.)# To capture a specific application window, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Spacebar. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. The screen shot will be placed on your clipboard for you to paste into another program.# To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. The screen shot will be automatically saved as a file on your desktop.# To copy the entire desktop, press Command-Control-Shift-3. I copied this from another website a long time ago but I don’t remember where.# To capture the entire desktop, press Command-Shift-3. The one I use the most is Command-Shift-4 (see below). But I also like using the Snipping Tool for quickly capturing & roughly annotating in one operation.Īs Captivate 5 now is a Mac product as well, note the snipping tools available on Macs. Both approaches have their advantages, and seem to work quite well.I like the fact that the OneNote snipper is always there (because I allow OneNote to remain resident). To annotate with the OnNote version, one would use the features in OnNote, which are of course more elaborate than Snipping Tool. You can also set an option to copy to clipboard only.In Win7, the Snipping Tool works in a similar way, but provides the mini popup with annotation features. The capture shows up in OneNote’s “unfiled” notebook, and from there you can save (or use the copy that’s also on the clipboard). Then just drag a region, or click without dragging (or press Escape) to cancel. You activate it by holding the “Windows” key (the window logo that looks like a flag) and pressing “S”. If you happen to have Microsoft OneNote installed on a Win machine (including Win7) there is a nice multi-display-aware screen region capture built in.

Here’s a simple Adobe Captivate simulation, which show where to find this utility and how to use it with Adobe Captivate. If you haven’t discovered this utility, you are not alone, most people haven’t either. Having said that, there’s a little known utility included with Windows 7 called the Snipping Tool and after I tweeted about it some time ago, one of my followers pointed out that it was also included with Windows Vista, so my take is why not use it. The idea is that often times you need to supplement your Adobe Captivate projects with a simple screen shot of a dialog box, or a rectangular snapshot of an area of the screen, so I’m somewhat in agreement with this argument, especially if you don’t already have a dedicated screen capturing tool. There’s a lively discussion happening now internally by members of the Adobe Captivate 5 prerelease program on the topic of whether Adobe Captivate should include a screen capturing tool.
