Screen captures can be immensely useful for education, support, presentations, etc. When capturing Web pages, your captures are typically limited to what is viewable on the screen. A Chrome extension by Google, however, allows you to capture an entire page. Here's how:

Step 1:
Go to the Chrome Web store and search for "screen capture" in the search box.
