Help please with screenshots?!

yummymummywales

Please can anyone give me a bit of advice.

I am doing a presentation for work and remember that when taking screenshots of web pages, there is a button I can press first to remove the url toolbar at the top of the page so that more info fits on the page. For the life of me, I cannot remember how to do this - can anyone help?!

Is F11 what you're think of?

I thought it was but it doesn't seem to work now when I try it?! Do I just press F11 or is it with another button?

It works on mine just by itself. But maybe that's because mine is a laptop and something to do with the function key?

I know its bugging me now as I know it worked last year when I did it - maybe its my home computer is different to my computer in work and I should be doing something different.


Thank you very much for trying anyway.

Are you using IE? If so, click tools, and then click full screen. Mine says F11 beside it.

AHHH! That's why - I was in AOL - when I went through my internet explorer link it worked! Thank you so much!!

F11 on mine too on Vista with IE8 and Firefox. There does seem a bit of a time lag though, give it a couple of seconds to react. Also, some newer keyboards have an F Lock button which activates the F Keys - they don't work if it's off.
