Hi. The print screen function copies whatever you have on your screen to the clipboard. There are free programs that will do this better. For instance http://www.etrusoft.com/

Try hitting the PRT SC key and the fn key next to control at the same time.

Open paint or your favorite graphic design program, alternatively PHotoshop. Then click on edit and paste in there.

Good luck
