How can I Snag a selection in Firefox? I do not need the entire article and in fact, scrolling does not always work or capture the sentences I want.

Becky,
I cannot find Custom Scrolling. Is it available in the Mac Version of SnagIt?

Hi Harry,
No, custom scrolling is not available in Snagit Mac. As for your original question, no there isn't a way to capture only the selected text on a web page. Scrolling capture works by taking a series of captures while scrolling down the page and tying them all together, or by grabbing the entire page at once (as is the case with Firefox).
If you only want to capture a portion of the page and it all fits within the window, the best thing to do is take a region capture by clicking and dragging out the area you want to capture like this: http://screencast.com/t/caGjzYXETvVr
If it doesn't fit on a single page, then unfortunately we don't have any feature that's going to accomplish that for you other than scrolling capture. If scrolling capture is getting more than you want, however, you can crop out the unwanted areas or select, copy, and paste the wanted areas to a new canvas. Like this: http://screencast.com/t/hLs2Dv9G
Hopefully the above gives you some workarounds for your problem. Thank you so much for questions and feedback!

Hello Jason
But why didn`t you provide this feature of custom capturing (scrolling region within a page) also for your mac users?
The steam-powered tying method is not state of the art - what a pity!
