May 23, 2008, Newsletter Issue #64: How To Take A Screenshot


1

Tip of the Week


You don't necessarily require screenshot software to capture screenshots of a computer screen. If you are trying to take a screenshot of are particular item on a computer as proof of say like illegal software, or a directory containing illegally downloaded music, try using the Print Screen function of your keyboard / computer.

To take a screenshot of the entire screen, press the "Print Screen" (it could be labeled "PrtScn" or "PrtScrn") button on your keyboard. It can be found near the top, to the right of all the Function Keys or F(x) (x = 1, 2, 3, etc).

If it is an active program that you want to take a screenshot of, press and hold the "Alt" button then press the :Print Screen" button.

Now that you have taken a screenshot, the picture has been copied to your computer clipboard. To paste it, open up your paint program or another editing program and select "Edit" then "Paste" from the toolbar at the top of your program. You should now see a copy of the screen that you just captured.

To save your screenshot to your computer, just go through your normal practice of saving a file. Click on "Save" or "Save As".
