Copy screen

[Vicky]

Hi, I'm trying to write up some simple instructions that are backed up pictures of the relevant icon etc. No problems with icons but I cannot find a way to copy the current window and paste it to my word doc. I know there's a way but just can't remember. Can anyone help please
Thanks

PrtScr - for entire screen, Alt+PrtScr for current Window
Paste results from clipboard to Word.

Thanks Mike! Think my pc must be poorly, tried and it won't work! By the way,, we like da moon, and have done for about 3 months now, brightens my day. Try Pavarotti's elephants and Destinys childs Alf Garnett, all hail to Joel Veitch!

Try a screen-capture utility like Snag-It, or use the one built into Paint
Shop Pro. I find it handy to capture with PSP and then reduce the bit-depth
before adding to a document.

Thanx for the Elephants!
