I resized a spreadsheet window to larger than the width and height of my screen and tried to capture a screenshot with scrot -d 2 -u however only the portion that appears on my screen is in the image. How can I capture the full window, includnig the parts that are off the screen?

Hi,
At the moment you can capture an off-screen window with the --stack option (capture all visible ones) + the --class option (discriminate by class name). Note that --stack needs an active Composite Window Manager.
Example: scrot --stack --class UXTerm

What you want to do would be a nice improvement.
