Is it possible to make a selection in Microsoft Paint larger than the current screen resolution?
Working with full screen screenshots (including across multiple screens) is not easy in Microsoft Paint as there appears to be no way to extend a selection or making it larger than the current view while making it.
Doing menu Edit / Select All (Ctrl + A) will make the selection cover the entire image / picture, but I need to make smaller selections than that.
Platform: Windows XP SP3

While selecting an area by holding down the left mouse button and dragging, you can use your mouse scroll wheel to scroll up and down the image. This allows using a selection larger than the screen resolution in the vertical direction.
However, you cannot scroll left to right and would probably need to zoom in/out for this.
