How do I capture the cursor on a print screen?

I need to create handouts using screen prints to illustrate them. Whenever I
take a screen print, the cursor is not visible. I want to be able to capture
the cursor as well.
Does anyone know how to do this using Microsoft Office XP?

There are commercial apps around that do *real* screen captures. If you're
not doing many it's simple enough to fake it: superimpose additional
graphics that look like the cursor (or arrow or whatever you want), then
group them with the screen shot.

Jezebel has pretty much summed up your options. If you will be using screen
shots much, you may want to make a modest investment in SnagIt
(www.techsmith.com), which I highly recommend. There is a free trial
available if you want to check out SnagIt's many useful features, which
include allowing you to take screen captures with or without the mouse
pointer.

You can also do the following.
Go to the screen you want to save and press Print Screeen.
Open a blank word file and select paste. The screen print is now in your
word doc.
Go to the drawing toolbar and select line for the curser or autosshapes for
the mouse pointer. Insert it into the word doc. Now make it the size or
color you prefer.
