Screen Prints with the Print Screen Key
Short-cut and Toggle Keys
|
For us Techies, we also find that pictures speak louder than words, so screen prints are
the easiest way to capture a picture of your entire screen or a picture of the Window that is open.
<Examples:>
1. Entire Screen
|
 |
To capture the entire screen hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
This is generally located to the right of the F12 key. Then open Notepad,
Word Pad or Microsoftsoft Word and Paste the picture you just captured into
the document. The short-cut key is the control key plus the letter v or
choose Edit then Paste from the drop-down menus.
2. Active Window |
 |
You can also capture any window that is open. To do this you first have to ensure that the
window you want to capture is the active window. If you have ten windows open, the computer
needs to know which window you want to capture so you have to make your window the center of
attention or active. You can do this simply by putting your cursor anywhere in on the window
and clicking once. In the above example, if you’re not careful, you may accidentally click
on one of the links which will take you to a different webpage or you may accidentally click
on a button which will open a different window. So make sure you left-click on the white space
or the frame of the of the window (I usually click on the blue bar at the top) so that you don’t
change the appearance of the window you want to capture. Then open a document and paste (Ctrl+V)
your captured window into the document.
There are many programs out there that will do this entire process for you and also help you
organize and arrange your screen prints. I recommend Snagit which you can buy from
Techsmith for $39.95.
