There's a few possibilities I can think of: * Maybe Word is just automatically scaling it to the size of the page available * Maybe Paint scales it * Maybe Windows just "remembers" that even though you're *looking* at the screen at 200%, the data is still the same so the screenshot is the same size no matter how much you scale I don't know, this isn't an area I work in. Maybe there's a way to do what you need to, but given the trouble you're having maybe there just isn't. So as a last-ditch resort if all else fails - have you considered using a cellphone to take a photo of the screen?

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. My esteemed listamtes, I wish you could sit next to me and see what I see. I've been doing screenshots for years - windows logo key + shift key + S - no problem. It's capturing the enlargement off that using the magnifier. Maybe there's a better tool? I want to share a handout that shows you 2 open File Explorer windows so you can see how you can drag a file from one drive to another. In normal view the files and folders and enlarge up to 200%. I then have tried 2 different ways to capture that so I can thn place that into the Word handout 'lve created. I've tried pressing the Print screen only on a LAPTOP (not a desktop) and it captures that and I paste that into MS Paint - still looking good. I then save that as a jpg. But, when I open Word and click Insert > Picture it doesn't look 200% anymore - it's back to the tiny 100%. So, next time I press the FN key AND the Printscreen key and pasted that into Paint - looks good. But, again o[en that saved kpg in Word and click Insert > Pictures and it's again no loinger 200%. I have enlarged the screen to 200% using that magnifier and then pressed the Windows + shift + S key and copied that and pasted THAT directly into Word - still NOT 200%. Camtasia is not free. I need a FREE way to accomplish this. Paint.net? DaVinci Resolve? How can I attach any files - jpgs, pdfs, of what I see here in the digest of messages? Thank you. Charles.
