Hi,

Is there any macro that takes screen shots and put that in a word document while working?
Please help me.

Thanks and Regards,
Priya

It depends on your emulator. I my emulator (IBM's Personal Communication), we can use macro commands to print. We set the 'print to file' switch in advance, and then run a script written in the emulator's macro language. Each screen is printed into file and saved.

I have tried to write macro in IBM's Personal Communication.
I need to capture the menu File -> Print Screen Collection -> Collect Screen and File -> Print Screen Collection ->Print Collection. But i do not find any command to capture the menus. I have tried the command autECLPS.SendKeys ["Alt"] . But it does not work. Pls help me with a solution.

You have to use PDT in order to print collections. To do so, mark the PDT in the 'FILE --> PRINTER SETUP' menu.

Thanks "Ofer71" for your reply.

I have Already marked PDT & I am successfull to capture the screens to MDI file by manually selecting (using Mouse) FILE -> PRINT SCREEN COLLECTION -> COLLECT SCREEN & FILE -> PRINT SCREEN COLLECTION -> PRINT COLLECTION.

But i want to automate the process. But there is no Sendkeys option for ALT key. (Shortcut for the menu is ALT+F+C+C & ALT+F+C+P)

So can any one help it.
