Has anyone yet found a way to save newspaper images? The method FindMyPast give in their FAQ to print, which firsts involves saving the image doesn't work. It only saves as complete web page not pdf. Just found a newspaper report that supports a family story of a financial scandal among half a million largely irrelevant hits and am likely to lose track of it if I can't save.

I was similarly desperate and saved my newspaper report using screen save.

 Think that further back on this thread (or the previous) someone mentioned snip tool but I haven't worked out how that works yet.

Good luck.....we need it  :)
Best wishes HL

I used the snipping tool, the other day, when I finally found new stuff on the new FindMyPast in the newspapers.   It is like a cropping tool you use for photos. :D

This was the previous suggestion using the windows snipping tool. It's not ideal, but without the save button there are few options.

Anyone trying to contact FindMyPast by telephone don't bother. Just spent 10 mins on hold I was call 3 in the line - then came the message we can't take your call leave a message or email.
