Hope this makes sense. I have seen on sites before where they have a pic of a site (or client) that they have developed and the pic shows the browser and main page together. How can I do this?
Thanks

Some image editors have a screen capture feature that makes it real easy, PSP has an especially good screen capture feature. You can also do this...bring up the screen you wish to capture and press and hold down the ALT key then press the PRINT SCREEN key. That puts a capture in the clipboard (BMP format). Now open your paint or image editing program and use the PASTE option or press CTRL and V to paste the clipboard image into the editor. From there you can edit it and convert to an internet file type, JPG or GIF most likely. Your monitor must allow screen captures for it to work, but almost all of them do.

you should be able to do a cntrl/ shift/ print screen and paste ctrl-v into some text editors...ms-word for example. then you can print it or whatever. I use Photoshop to adjust the size and quality, highlight any important areas and all. Something like....
