Here is a solution for you: google "Shift Window" and once you install it, create 2 rules with easy shortcuts. One rule is for resizing for you to see maximum from the game, the other restores the "normal" position/size of the game window, so you can take screenshots. Also, ShiftWindow makes it absolutely neat to scroll, which otherwise is a headache in windowed Civ4.

There's an option for that. Just set MouseScrolling = 1 in CivilizationIV.ini (in My Games\Beyond the Sword).

FWIW, I've been using http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/ for years. I bought the pro version for like 5 bucks 6-7 years ago and its definitely been worth it, but I think even the freeware version is an upgrade on the generic Printscreen function. I didn't check, so for all I know the pro version is like a million dollars now, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Really great for all the cropping and what not you do in a PB/PBEM here.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

No suggestions to use the windows built-in snippingtool? Crop and save in one go, it's really straightforward and never fails.

Windows Vista and newer: Start / Run / Snippingtool . Press enter. Screen shot. Done.

I think I have that enabled and it still requires careful pointing inside the active area of the civ window, while shiftwindow resizes the window, so upper, side and bottom "system" areas (where the minimize, maximize, etc buttons are) are simply not visible on the screen and you get pure gaming area while the game is still in windowed mode.
