The screen in my old laptop stopped working and I replaced it with a Samsung Chromebook after reading about them in one of your posts.

Anyway, back to my question. Every once in a while I need to take a screenshot. It was easy on Windows 7 but I can’t figure out how to do it on my Chromebook.

As you probably know, tapping your Windows PC’s Print Screen key will place a “snapshot” of the current screen contents onto the Windows Clipboard.
This process is commonly known as “taking a screenshot”, and it’s one of the most useful features for many Windows PC and Mac users.
Have you ever needed to create a screenshot of an entire web page, but the page was too long and/or wide to fit in the browser window?
If so, you probably had to “capture” the current contents of the screen, scroll to display more of the page, “capture” that part of the page to a different image file.
Then you had to repeat the process until you had a series of photos depicting every part of the web page.
Well, if you use Google’s Chrome browser, there’s an easy way to take a screenshot of an entire web page without having to scroll or capture multiple images.
