Hi Roger,

That method only captures the visible contents of the window, at least on
Windows 2000, it may be different on XP although I don't think so. If the
entire area you want to capture is visible, that method works fine.

The tool Katherine uses captures the entire contents of the window, even the
parts you might have to scroll to to make visible. I don't know of a Windows
method that allows you to do that (although it may be an undocumented
feature).

Hi Tomas,

Here is an even cheaper method (i.e. costs nothing) if you are running
windows 2000 or windows xp.

1. first make sure the window you want to capture is "selected".  Just click
on the title bar to make sure
2. press Alt-Print Screen.  This copies the contents of the selected window
to the clipboard
3. from the start menu, select "run...", type mspaint, and press OK
4. once the mspaint program has started, press Ctrl-V

there you go.  You can now save the picture.  On windows 2000, the only
options to save are .bmp and .gif.  on xp, you have many more formats to
choose from, including .jpg.

note that you don't have to use mspaint in step 3.  you can use your
favourite drawing program.  Hope this helps.

Hi Tomas,

I assume you are referring to saving a digital (JPEG) copy of the chart to
which you can add your own annotations. If so, I use a screen capture
program called CapturePro that allows you to capture an entire window, even
if all the contents is not currently displayed on your screen. It's a
modestly priced program that you'll find at www.creativesoftworx.com. There
are other free and shareware screen capture programs, but not many of them
allow you to capture an entire window out of view.

And yes, you are more than welcome to use, save, print and post the charts
in any fair-use, non-commercial way as long as the copyright remains intact.

Katherine

Yea, I am beginning to realize that IBD is not a very
good mining tool.

Katherine, a question.  How do you save those charts
to annotate?  I cannot seem to save the whole charts.
I can only save one chart at a time.  I am referring
to your cwhcharts.  Oh, I recalled you saying that it
is ok to save your charts and annotate them, right?

Regards,
tomas
