Screen Shots

How do you do this? I've seen @debodun mention it a few times. Sounds familiar, like I used to do this. If so, obviously I forgot how. I have Windows 7. Thanks.

You can use the key combo CTRL + PRT SCRN to capture what's on your screen. If you use Firefox browser, it has a built in screen capture function.

Where does it go when you've captured it? How do I view it? Thanks, CM. I use Chrome.

CTRL + PRT SCRN copies it to your clipboard. You can then paste the image into your favorite editor.

I have a clipboard? Where's that, GL? I have also seen to use Windows + PRT SCRN. No that's wrong, I meant ALT

@Gardenlover
Thanks, CM & GL
I have installed an app called 'Clip Clip' to allow for a clipboard as it doesn't look like it's handy on my antique. I'll practice!

OK, sounding stupid......what is the "print screen" key? I don't have anything on my keyboard that specifically says "print screen". Is it one of the "F" keys?

 

[Pepper]

It's 'PRT SCRN' @jujube. It's to the right of your lettered/numbered keys. Mine is top/left button. Look at me helping you! The blind leading the blind, duh.

What I use after hitting the Print Screen key, is to open up Microsoft Paint, hit Paste & then print it from there.

Okay. Was going to get to this sooner, but I kept on forgetting what to do. I finally remembered after being told twice:
When you're at START, which lists all your programs, press & you will see on the bottom a Search bar. Type in Snipping. Something called Snipping Tool will appear. Click it & it will give you simple instructions on copying the page you want saved, which will be saved in Pictures. Sorry I kept you all waiting with baited breath

Now I, too, can do Screenshots. The End.
