Print Screen

Pressing the Print Screen does not work the way it once
did, back in the DOS days. When you press the Print
Screen key it copies an image of whatever is currently on-
screen to the paste buffer. If you open a program like
Paint or Microsoft Word you can then go to the Edit item
on the menu ribbon and hit Paste to bring the image into
the document, from which you can then print, if desired.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck !
 
Greetings --

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard (iow, into RAM). To view the screen capture, open a
graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will
paste the contents of the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open
file, and allow you to view it or save it as a file for later use.
