Emailing a Screen capture of an SAP issue - Using a PC
1) To take a screenshot of an SAP screen, press Alt + the Print Screen keys.
2) Open a blank Word document and choose Edit/Paste, or press Control + V. An image of the SAP screen will appear in the document. You can also use Visio, SnagIt, Paint or other graphic application packages instead of Word.
3) Type the number of the issue you entered in the Test Issue Tracking System on the page, either above or below the screen capture.
4) Save the file as a Word document with a name that references the same issue number from the Test Issue database; for example: Issue #179.doc.
5) Either email this document to ist-quality@mit.edu or save it in the QA share folder on the network titled 'Test Issue Screenshots' where anyone can view it.

Emailing a Screen capture of an SAP issue - Using a Mac

2) Depending on how your Mac is set up, the image of the SAP screen will appear either on the Clipboard, hard drive or desktop (as a Picture file). Open a blank Word document and choose Edit/Paste or press Command + V to paste from the Clipboard - or do a search of 'Picture' to find the image on your hard drive. You can also use other graphic or screen capture packages such as ZMAC PIX instead of Word.
3) If possible, type the number of the issue you entered in the Test Issue Tracking System on the page either above or below the screen capture.
4) Save the file as a Word document with a name that references issue number from the Test Issue Tracking System; for example: Issue #179.doc. (Use the .doc extension so that PC users can also open the document)
