Default Re: Help with screen shots

Print Screen just does a copy. To print it, you need to paste the image in to another program (Paint, Word, PowerPoint)

Tips
If you just use the Print Screen button you will get the whole screen (all visible windows, and the start menu/toolbar).

If you hold alt + Print Screen you only get the active window.

If you want to take a screenshot of something open in Internet Explorer, consider hitting F11 before doing the print screen. This gives a full screen view of IE so that you don't have large navigation buttons and the pull-down menus visible.
