How to capture screen-shots

How to quickly add screen captures to your help topics

Click the camera button in the add element toolbar to start capturing a screen-shot.

Select the area to capture

HelpBurner will minimize and the screen-capture tool will appear as a transparent blue rectangle.

• Use the drag handles to move and size the capture tool.

• Double-click or press the enter key to capture the area under the tool.

• Press the escape key to cancel and return to HelpBurner.

Editing your captured image

Hovering over images in HelpBurner will display the image editing tool (see below). The toolbar allows you to:

• Re-capture the image if it's not quite right.

• Replace the image with an image stored on your computer.

• Resize the image to a standard size.

• Add different frames or borders around the image.

• Add annotations to the image.
