Default encyclopedia printouts


I wish to post a query concerning the encyclopedia. I would like a way of printing out all the German data so that I might be able to peruse it for the making of OOBs, etc. Now I know about the screen shot method, but using Paint and Windows Picture It the pictures come out a jumble of indecipherable colours.
Another method of copying and posting to say Word or NotePad would be great except for the following problem: I am most probably the last being on Terra Firma that still uses a VGA monitor even though I run XP. Thus trying to use the windowed version of winSPWW2 @ 800x600 I wind up with a squashed\roadkill box which of course is unusable for copying anything from.
I'm prepared to hand copy all the information, but I was hoping that perhaps there was a quicker or easier method to accomplish said purpose. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't want exact replicas of the pages, just the particulars of each unit for comparison purposes.Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no way to do what you are asking unfortunately.

however - you may be able to get some of the data from Mobhack, using the "dump CSV" button and exel or a database to read the CSV files, if you know how to handle Comma-Separated importing. The text files for the formations and the units can of course be found in the \game data\text folder as described in mobhack help.

Cheers
Andy

If it's screen shots you want but cannot use windowed mode try this ( from \WinSPWW2\Game Notes )

2] In full screen mode the ALT+PrtScn technique does not work. You need a screen capture utility like Hypersnap
http://www.hyperionics.com/ or UOSU http://www.hh.iij4u.or.jp/~kmatuoka/uosu/indexe.html running in the background

Thanks Andy & General, both points work well. I especially like the Hypersnap program; I'll probably purchase it after the trial period. Neither solution was the total easy answer but the nothing ever is. Thanks for the help.
