How do I use the keyboard key "print scren" to print a
page shown on the monitor when in outlook express E-mail
using Win XP. Is there a KB bulletin ?
 
Press Prt Scrn, then click in the body of an HTML email and
select paste.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the
screen. But in all versions of Windows, this works differently,
and the name of the key is now an anachronism.

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire
screen, or press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active
window. Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard.
Once it's in the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any
application that supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics
programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or add
to the image as you wish, then print it.

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing
it is an improvement over the original DOS method of just
printing it. But if you'd like that old facility back, there are
several third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this,
such as PrintKey2000
(http://www.sharewarejunkies.com/00zwd2/printkey2000.htm).

That key doesn't work as one would expect. What it does is puts a bit
map image of your screen on the clipboard, then you can open up paint
and paste it into there to view it or print it. The closest thing to
what you're looking for would be to hold down one of the CTRL keys and
press P at the same time. This prints the entire message you're viewing.
