All the guides take it for granted i know how to do the very 1st step, which is: Take a screenshot of your zoomed-out map. How do you save to a file when there is no file or
anything else to click on. I am new to copying and pasting and totally lost.
I have 9 titles and need only 1 more for "people know me", Have Tyria 90%
uncovered and need to compare the 100% map to my own. I really feel stupid when my children know more about computers than i do. LOL

Well its nice an simple, simply press M to get ur map up, zoom in, press "Print Screen" on your keyboard, then move around press it again etc etc. OR Alternatively Press U drag ur U map to cover the entire Screen, scroll the mouse Wheel to make sure the U map is zoomed out as far as it goes and press "Print Screen". If you press Crtl while pressing "Print Screen" you will remove the HUD displays, this is very useful when getting screenshots of things.

Your Screenshots will be in a folder on your hardrive, generally the pathway is: C:/Program files/Guildwars/Screenshots/Screenshot x

Once long ago u could take a Screen shot of ur entire map zoomed out and get a zoomed in copy of ur entire map but unfortunately Anet stopped that feature.

I took it in 1280x1024 resolution, but if you need it in a different size let me know
