Livesearch Maps Changes

[RednekF350]

For anyone who enjoys the "birdseye" feature of Microsoft's Livesearch program, they took away the print option on the birdseye views this week.
We have been using it quite a bit for reports lately and it was a surprise this week to see the print option disappear.
The site just says it does not support the print option in birdseye.
We have been backdooring it by doing a printscreen and using paint to print which works okay. It just doesn't size itself and you print more info than you want.
I am sure one of our youngtsers in work will tweak it some more.

Print Screen help

Just a suggestion
There are a number of Print Screen software packages that would work better than "Print Screen" (my favorite is Snagit, which is not free). But I suggest that you try PrintScreen at http://www.gadwin.com/download/
This is a free package and works quite well for grabbing screens or just parts of screens.

I love that program. It works flawlessly. We have it at work. I snag stuff directly to Powerpoint from MS Project and Excel. I plan to buy a copy for home if its not too much money.

There is a free image viewer/editor called FastStone that I use for stuff that doesn't merit booting up Photoshop. It includes a good and flexible screen cap feature, and once the image is grabbed you can save it to disk or tweak it first.

Found yet another program.
A guy in work just told me he uses MW Snap.
It is free and works really well.
