How do you take a screen shot of a certain area without using a special program?

Answer 1

If using Microsoft Windows, you can capture the entire desktop (PrintScreen) or just the focused application (Print Screen) with the Print Screen function. If you need to do a subset of either of these, I recommend capturing the screen (either option) and pasting into the Paint application and clipping the image as needed.

Answer 2

Its really simple. Go to the page you want to take a picture of or get the display how you want it to look. Then press the button that says Prt Scrn or Print Screen. It shuld be near the Delete button. Then if you want to crop it it shuld be able to paste so just go in the program and press ctrl=V. Then yuu can make it look however you want

Answer 3

Press "PrintScreen" button.
Open Microsoft Paintbrush (if you use Windows).
Paste it on paintbrush canvass. Using paintbrush tools, select the area you want.
Press "Copy" (or ctrl+c)
Finally paste it on your document.
