What is a screenshot ?

[successbbd100]

I need to save screenshots to a word document. How do I do this.

Thanks.

Press PrtScr or Alt+PrtScr to take the screenshot, switch to Word if
you're not in it, click where you want to insert the screenshot, and
press Ctrl+V to paste.

If you need to edit the screen shot, you will do better to paste it into a
photo editing application, edit it there, save it in a standard graphics
format (GIF is good for screen shots), and then use Insert | Picture | From
File to insert it in your document. This has the advantage that you can use
the same graphic multiple times and that you still have the source file if
anything happens to the picture in the document.

For more sophisticated screen captures, I highly recommend SnagIt from
TechSmith (www.techsmith.com), which I use for all the screen shots at

For a wide variety of situations, Windows Paint does just fine for editing screen shots. You can select a rectangular area, copy it, and make that into a new file. You can do quite a bit of editing. Try Ctrl-PageDown to see individual pixels. Things like that. But I agree with the previous recommendation for SnagIt-- it does things like saving images bigger than the screen, etc.
