Answer 1

Do the following:

1) Press the Print Screen button. You'll find this above the Insert, Home, and Page up button.

2)Go to Paint. To do this, click Start, the All Programs, then Accessories, then Paint.

3)Click Edit on the Menu Bar, then click paste. If they ask you about the bitmap being to large, click OK.

SHORTCUT: Just press Ctrl+V.

4)Now you can save, edit, or print the screen picture.

There is much more you can do with the screen picture. First save it in Paint then go into another program and edit there.

I recommend Microsoft Picture It! Photo and Arcsoft PhotoImpression.

Answer 2

Press the CTR key and while pressing it press the print screen key up on top to the right. From there open it in an art program. If you want to copy multiple screen shots then get Gadwin print screen which will copy it to a picture format for you. This program is free and you can find it at:

Answer 3

Hit the print screen button located in the upper right hand corner on your keyboard. Then on your computer open wordpad (click start, all programs, accessories, wordpad). Click edit and paste to paste the image. Please note that the entire picture will not be able to print out. If you need to print the entire desktop image, you will have to paste the image into Microsoft Word, or whatever word processor program you use (ie. Lotus,WordPerfect)

Answer 4

Hmmmm, well, those folks are pretty close - if you want to capture the whole screen - everything you see now - hold the key and hit the button. If you want to just capture a popup window or error message, hold the key and hit - just the "inset" window will be captured.

Then, open Word, or WordPad, and paste what you've captured.


Good luck!

Answer 5

Okay.. There is a button on your keyboard that is called Screen shot or Print screen. It varies on keyboards. Then open the program paint and right click paste.

Answer 6

Use the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard, after that use an image editor like Paint or IrfanView to paste the whole screen and cut only what you want out of it

Answer 7

Hi,
You can right click and bring up an assortment of tool bar selections. You can "send page/picture" to yourself via email OR highlight picture by clicking and holding down left mouse button once highlighted hit Ctrl then c, open an empty document or open compose page in e-mail, hit cursor inside of empty page, make sure it is flashing, then hit Ctrl then v. This should cut and paste picture into empty document. If image is small enough you can paste several of them on same document or page of e-mail.

I hope this helps ,I find it to easier to cut and paste rather than send e-mail style since that would mean you would have to cut and paste later anyway.
