Overview

WinCopy uses two methods of screen capture:

1.	Capture of the entire screen.

2.	Capture of selected sections of the screen.

All captured images are copied to the Windows Clipboard for review.  You should always review the picture in the Clipboard.  If you are satisfied with the result, you can:

1.	Save the image as a file in any of the supported graphics formats.

2.	Print the image.

The system supports the following graphics file formats:  BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG.

The system is very easy to use.  Simply click on the Capture ... button, mark the selected area, view the captured image in the Clipboard,  and print the image or save it as a file.


Methods

Capture the Entire Screen

1.	To maximize the memory resources on your computer, close all un-needed applications.  Save the files of any running programs. Start the WinCopy program.

2.	Click on Capture Whole Screen button.

3.	Click on the Clipboard button in the toolbar (eye glasses) and review the captured image.

4.	If satisfied with the result, choose Save As, or Print from the File menu.

Capture a Section of the Screen

1.	To maximize the memory resources on your computer, close all un-needed applications.  Save the files of any running programs.  Start the WinCopy program.

2.	Click on Capture Screen Section button.  The screen 'freezes' and a yellow comment box and a cross-hair pointer appear on the screen.  The yellow comment box disappears when you touch it with the cursor.

3.	Starting from the upper left corner, while holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor and demarcate the area that you want to capture.  The area inside the 'rubber band' will be captured when you release the mouse button.  You can fine tune the starting point by pressing any of the arrow keys.  To cancel the action, flip the captured area (move the mouse pointer to the left of the starting point) and release the mouse button.  To cancel and 'unfreeze' the screen, press any key, except an arrow key.

4.	Click on the Clipboard button in the toolbar (eye glasses) and review the captured image.

5.	If satisfied with the result, choose Save As, or Print from the File menu.


Save to a File

The captured image can be saved to a file in one of the following formats: BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG.

1.	From the File menu, choose Save As.

2.	In the Save As Dialog box (at the bottom of the window), select the file format.

3.	Enter the file name of the file.

4.	Press OK.

If you specify an unsupported graphics format, the system will use the bitmap format (.bmp).


Print

The captured image can be printed.  The printing will fail if the printer does not have sufficient memory.

1.	From the File menu, choose Print.

2.	In the Print window, specify the number of copies and the print offset (top and left margins or centering).  You may also change the scale of printing.

3.	To select another printer, press on Printer Setup and specify the printer..

4.	Press OK.
