Keith:

First, what version of SnagIt do you have? I am up to 6.1.0 now, but the Scrolling feature has been there for a long time. If set correctly, SnagIt first does a vertical scroll, then (if the webpage is wider than the screen and has a horizontal scroll bar so you can manually see everything) performs a horizontal scroll, and then another vertical scroll. You can see all of this happening on the screen before you.

Here is what I have setup on my SnagIt menus. Depending on your version, the options may not be in exactly the same place. On the Input column, make sure you have AutoScroll "checked". Then select Input->Properties, and the Scrolling tab. Under Window AutoScroll options, "check" Both for the Scroll Direction. Also, Scroll from Top of Document and Scroll from Left of Document should be "checked", but they are also probably grayed out. Then select the Menu tab, and make sure neither Include Menu bar or Capture cascaded menus are checked.

Then go to the Tools column, and make sure Image Capture is "checked". Then minimize SnagIt.

Finally, when you hit Ctrl-Shift-P (or whatever you use to activate the capture), make sure the red rectangle is INSIDE the scroll bars before you select. As you move the "hand" around, you will see that the  size and location of the red rectangle changes. If it is outside the scroll bars, then nothing scrolls.

>From what you have mentioned, you seem to be able to get the vertical scroll feature to work, so my bet is, Windows Auto Scroll Options are not set correctly.
