PRINT SCREEN.

If you ever have used Copy and Paste to save what you see on your monitor and it didn’t work, try this.

TIP:  

BASIC:  There is a keyboard key after your F-12 key that reads Print Screen (Prt Scr, or Print Scr). Use this when copy and paste will not work.

When you hit Print Scr, the clipboard takes a picture of the whole monitor screen.  Use Control V to paste it into Word, PowerPoint, WordPad, or Paint.

ADVANCED:  If you hold the Alt key down and hit the Print Scr key the clipboard takes a picture of the active window only. Use Control V to paste it into Word, or Paint.  NOTE:  You can edit Print Screen in Paint.

Print Desktop:

If you have a web site on your monitor that you would like to print, this program will send it directly to your printer. Here’s how.  Go to Start > All Programs > PrintDesk Top and double click.  The printer will start printing.

This program is a FREEWARE program and is available as a download from http://www.printdesktop.com/ .
