Inserting Web Page Image

[Guest]

When I Print Screen a Web Page and copy it into Powrpoint, I get a very
distorted image upon using a projector to display the slide on a wall? Is
there a better way to capture a Web Page and get it into a powerpoint slide
without losing quality when projecting to a screen?

A screen capture is limited to 72DPi (or low-resolution), so depending on
the final size the image needs to be it can result in poor visual display.
That being said I use screen captures frequently with great results. To
simplify the process (like the ability to capture scrolling web-pages) and
get the highest quality image I use TechSmiths SnagIt (www.techsmith.com).

Thanks for your help. I tried using snagit as you suggested and was still
unable to read the text clearly from the web page snag when I projected it to
a screen. I set the snag it resolution to 200 dpi! Any further suggestions?

There are two possible reasons for this that I can think of off top of head:

1) PowerPoint slightly blurs all images. The idea is to remove the dreaded
jaggies, but when the image includes text, it just makes the things harder to
read.

2) The web page may simply have too much detail to be able to project clearly.
Is it equally illegible when you project an image from the browser with the web
page on screen? If so, do what you can to increase text size ...
ctrl+scrollwheel if you have a scrollwheel mouse, for example, then re-capture
the screen.
