You need to use an imaging program (Paint, GIMP, PSP, Photo Shop, etc).

You can capture images from within the program and export as gif, jpg, png, etc.

The Print Screen key on the keyboard can also be used to copy the screen and paste it into an imaging program.

I use fireshot, a free add in for Firefox that snaps web pages and then sends them to my editor (Photoshop)

here is the page you referenced, cool fading effect by the way.

Is this a page you designed? If not, you have to get the designer's permission before you can copy it. FYI

How do I link an html document to a page using Visual Site Designer? I export reports from MS Access into an html document and I'm trying to add this data to an existing page in VSD.

You could either use the link option that should be displayed as an icon on VSD or you can use the html tool and insert the link like this:

<a href="http://www.location-of-document.html">Link</a>

I have a home page with a hyperlink. When someone chooses the hyperlink, I would like that "new" page to display my report. When I use the <a href="C:\document\document.html"> my "new" page shows blank.

That is because your "href" is relative to your desktop right now. Notice is says c:/documents/documents. That is the c-drive on your computer. What you need to do is make sure you document is uploaded to your server and you must change your "href" to reflect the location that you uploaded it to on your desktop.

Christine, you could also insert it into an Iframe on your site, then if any changes are ever made to that chart, you'll have the latest version shown on your site as well.
