(In Logos, you can "Fit" horizontally but not vertically.) Using the "Scrolling Window" capture feature in SnagIt, you can indeed capture the whole window and save it.MGVHoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984044532444865131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026869257529481970.post-16815967718762641322007-11-28T09:59:00.000-05:002007-11-28T09:59:00.000-05:00Well, after an incredibly short response time from...Well, after an incredibly short response time from TechSmith (that speaks quite highly of their support staff), I received the following reply:<BR/>"Thanks for writing in and asking Mark.

Thanks for noticing.<BR/>I got the SnagIt program first, and that <A HREF="http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/ukdn.asp" REL="nofollow">Registration Page</A> doesn't have that "exclusive offering" header on it. So when I went to do the Camtasia one, I just zipped right past that and filled in the blanks like the first time. I actually first found the links via the highly respected "<A HREF="http://janeknight.typepad.com/pick/2007/11/snagit-and-camt.html" REL="nofollow">Jane's<BR/>E-Learning Pick of the Day</A>," and she made no mention of the "exclusive" nature of the offering. I have contacted the TechSmith support department regarding this matter, and I will update this entry once I get a ruling from them.MGVHoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984044532444865131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026869257529481970.post-67401946395691145642007-11-28T00:58:00.000-05:002007-11-28T00:58:00.000-05:00Hmm.
