Horizontal Screen Captures

Locked

Is there a program that will let you capture a screen that scrolls off of the screen horizontally? I have found a variety of programs that let you capture a screen that scrolls off of the screen vertically but not horizontally. Any suggestions?

SnagIt, available from TechSmith scrolls vertically and horizontally and has a robust set of features.

I am not sure what “type” of screens you would like to capture, but the easiest solution is free. You can align your screen at the top of your “page” and use Alt-PrintScreen key combination. This will “capture” your screen to the clipboard to be pasted into another program and saved. Scroll down to the next point and capture the next segment. This process captures a “graphic image” of your pages.

I already knew about this technique. It wouldn’t let me get the entire screen and took too much time to combine the multiple images.

I have used two tools “Hypersnap” and “Hypercam” by the same company. Hypersnap allowed me to capture the contents of windows that scrolled off the screen very easily. Search for Hypersnap, it may even be http://www.hypersnap.com.
