Often, not having options available to copy or export in some way a Display
of sorts, I find that,(wrongly, perhaps,) my last resort is to use Alt-Print/Screen to get some record of what may of value in the Display. However, the format of the record is actually an image. I have problems dealing with it when it comes to sort it out, in some way, or edit it, if necessary. Is there a way to extract the contents and paste them, in an editable format, to Notepad, for instance, of to a favorite Word Processor ? Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions! |

If it's Web pages then try saving the page with your browser, in Netscape it's under the File menu. Save it to a Temp file then open it with Word. The graphics won't show up because they are not on your machine but all the text and URL's are there although they won't work. You can then edit it and copy/paste text etc. If that's not it what kind of displays are you interested in? Regards, Bill Watt Win98 Computer Help & Other Information http://home.ptd.net/~bwatt/ |

Thanks for the tip, dadiOH!
I assume that you have and do use a favorite OCR Utility. Can you share the site where I could find and download one? Preferably a free version?

Bill, I inherited a machine that uses W2K Pro, but happens to be by some
sort of virus. It is a stand alone Unit. I have downloaded and used AVG Anti-virus Utility. When I scan the Temp folder, indicated as the location by warning pop-ups during the Booting stage, AVG shows me a page that has seven items that appear to be infected. The Report shows them all, but does not give an option to save the info in a friendly format. I could put the entire image on the clipboard and use that info to the experts, but I was hoping to be able to remove or alter the part where the prior User name is shown, strictly for simple consideration and respect. Of course, there could be other instances where similar situations might arise. Thank you for your interest! ********** "Bill Watt" wrote: On Wed, 29 Mar 2006 03:09:02 -0800, BAP wrote: ?Often, not having options available to copy or export in some way a Display of sorts, I find that,(wrongly, perhaps,) my last resort is to use Alt-Print/Screen to get some record of what may of value in the Display.

Was able to download that utility...rather large at 9.28MB... but ran into
trouble during the installation. An I/O error occurred while installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installation media or a corrupt installation file. (Abort or Retry) I tried again and again on two machines, but could not get it to work. Download a new copy? Will see! Thank you! "dadiOH" wrote: BAP wrote: Thanks for the tip, dadiOH!
