Hi All
Am trying to print in screen mode while in paint, but am getting two half
sided objects when printing . How can I get just one complete picture on just
a one sheet printout.
Thank you.

Not sure I follow. What does "print in screen mode" mean? What does "two
half-sided objects" mean?

In fact, what does your entire post mean?
 
Sorry for being unclear..
Have saved an object by hitting the "print screen" key on the keyboard. That
object is now in the "paint" feature of windows xp home ed. When trying to
print the object by hitting edit and then paste the picture breaks up into
two half sections which means I now have to print two pages (one for each
side of the picture) to get the complete picture. I need to have the full
photo on only one sheet. Hope I was able to explain it correctly this time
since I am an older newbie. Thanks for your help and patience
 
Hi Cari
Thanks for your response.
Yes, tried landscape mode but am still getting the printout on two sheets.
The left hand side of the picture on one sheet and the right hand side of the
picture on a second sheet. I am looking to get the entire reproduction on
only one sheet, (if that's possible).

First thing, don't use MS Paint. It's the crudest graphics program
imaginable. Many freeware ones are available e.g. Irfanview. Do a search for
it. Irfanview will scale the picture for you in a number of different ways
so the image will print on one sheet.
 
Hi Franktee,

Try this-- Open Paint, and go to Image | Attributes. Change both the Width
and Height to = 1. Make sure that Units = Pixels. OK to save changes, and
then go and do your printscreen again.
After making these changes, hopefully the next time you paste, you will be
prompted with a message that the size of the object is bigger than the
available space, and Paint will automatically resize it for you so that it
all fits in one image. Either that or Paint will just resize it for you with
no message. Hope this helps.
 
Hi Erikka T,
Have followed your instructions but am still getting the same result. (2
sheets I/O 1).
Thanks for your reply.

Hi again Erikka,
Have just solved the problem, When in paint I then save to my documents and
then print.
Thanks again.
