Making copies from posts of ........How to.

Post by Ray Anderson »

On tab section of Forum there are tabs that players post that are worth saving for practice. How do I copy the tabs only for printing ? Thanks in advance.

Not sure which ones you are referring to, but I do believe that you can right click on them and save them. Hope this helps

Or, do what I do. Just highlight the parts you want. Then right click on it and click on copy. Then paste in into any text editor, like Microsoft Word, Notepad, or... Then print it out. I then save that document to a folder so I have it for future use.

EDIT: Saving the page by using the technique described before my post, it saves all the replies, not just the one with the tab you want. That may not be a bad thing if others add to the subject. But if you just want the tab, you will also get the other posts that you may not care about. If the post was 10 pages long for example, you would have all 10 pages copied to your hard drive.

If you're on Windows you can also use the Snipping Tool, located in the Accessories folder, to draw a rectangular selection around the part of the post you want to save, then save it as a .png. If you're on a Mac it's much easier.

I was referring to the ones posted as a pic. They can simply be saved as a jpg file. I was not sure which ones he was referring to.

You do if from the keyboard without having to launch another app.

Oh...OK. Almost down to semantics, but doesn't that keyboard stroke launch it?

On my Windows box, I have the icon on my taskbar - takes 1 click and I'm there. So it's a keyboard stroke vs 1 mouse click - not so much "easier" as simply preference, if one really has to put a fine point on it, right?
