print screen

[NAS]

Whenever I take a snapshot of the screen with the print screen key, I am
unable to paste it into a slide. Does anyone else have this issue or know how
to fix it?

Can you paste it into something else (perhaps, an image editing program like
Photoshop) and save the picture as a JPG, GIF, or PNG file. Then you can
choose Insert > Picture > From File.

I can paste it into a blank word document, then copy from there and paste it
into the powerpoint, but why is it that I cant paste it directly into the
powerpoint? It was working about an hour ago and then it seems like it stops
working whenever it wants to.

you can do a paste special, then select bitmap and it should work.
I havent been able to figure out how to default to this setting yet however.
