how to make a screen shot

for PC users


To make Print Screen work, you must save an image of what's displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then paste it into a document where it can be printed.

To do this, follow this procedure:

1. Maximize the window you'd like to capture.
2. To copy/capture the current window, hold down ALT + Print Scrn at the same time. To capture the entire screen, just press Print Scrn.
3. Open a new document in MS Word, MS Photo Editor, or Adobe PhotoShop.
4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time.
5. Print the document when you're finished pasting screen shots.

 

Note from HeatherAQHA :

"on some computers (like mine, laptop), you need to press FN (function) + PRT SC which is the same button as “insert” on the keyboard."

 

 

 

 

 

you can also use programs to make screenshots
