How to screen shot

[wolfeking]

In Windows 7, How do I screen shot the page? I have tried the PrtSc button and nothing. Is there a program that I need for it?

You can use Snipping Tool which comes with 7.

In linux mint, you just press print screen and save it

In windows 7 just hit print screen then ctrl v to paste it somewhere to use it, like in paint, word, or an email.

EDIT: I am not sure why everyone keeps giving different directions for this...the answer is hit printscreen, then paste it....no alt, no ctrl...I do it alllll day long at work with W7 trust me ha

It's alt-printscreen then ctrl-v in paint.

ok, Ill try that when I get home.

I thought it was Ctrl + Alt + PrintScreen ... maybe the Ctrl doesn't do anything.

Look around your Start Menu, it's there.

I just press the printscreen button and then paste it into IrfanView.

Alt + printscreen does just the open window.

PrtSc -> Control + V (in the photo editing program of your choice)

Alternately, you can just click Paste in the File menu.

Hi,
How do I screen shot with Windows XP?

If you want only the active window, press Alt-print screen
or if you want the whole screen then press print screen.

Then open paint and press ctrl-v and it will appear in paint. Save the picture as a jpg.

First, thank you so much for your prompt response.

Pardon my ignorance, but I sure do know where to find "Alt" but where do I find "print screen"?

Should be to the right of your F keys.

I found it and IT WORKS!
Thank you so much.
