How do you take a screen shot?

[intheflow]

I'm working on a prsentation and want to use headlines as a graphic, but rather than get all the papers and scan them in, it would just look so much cooler with a shot of the story on, say, the WP web site.

So how is it done?

1. Hit printscreen

Then open up "Paint" and click "paste". Then save the bmp.

2. Get your gun, point it at the screen....

and BOOM!

You have taken a screen shot?

5. make sure you use sterilized needles

and dispose of them properly when you're done

3. Alt-key with PrintScreen-key, then

open Microsoft Word or something like that and Paste.

6. Alt+Prt Scr only takes a screenshot of the current window in focus

Prt Scr alone takes a screenshot of the entire screen.

And then justpaste it into the image editing program of your choice (anything from Paint to Photoshop will do the trick), then save the image.

4. On Windows, use the Print Screen key

On windows, use the <Print Screen> key. The <Alt>+<Print Screen> combination will capture a screen shot of the current window. <Print Screen> alone does a screen capture of the whole desktop.
