From time-to-time you will need to capture screen shots to an image file.
The following instructions will allow you to capture any image on you desktop.
The Windows Print Screen Key can be a powerful tool if you know
how to use it to its full potential. There are some who
initially think that when they press the Print Screen Key that
it will literally be sent to the printer! That's okay, we've all
been there, done that. Just don't tell anyone.
Screen Capture:
- Press the Print Screen key (PrtScn) to take a snapshot
or picture of your computer screen and copy it to the
clipboard (the clipboard is an invisible holding area for
content that is copied).
- Now, how do you get to see those Screen Captures or
maybe even send them to someone? The quickest and most
effective method is to have a graphics editing program
handy. If that is not an option, you can open your favorite
word processing program and create a new document. Position
your cursor at the beginning of the document or wherever you
want the screenshot to appear.
- Using your keyboard, press Ctrl + V which will Paste the
screenshot in your open document. Now you can Save (Ctrl +
S) the document to wherever you wish, make sure to name it
appropriately so you can easily find it.
