PrintScreen is very helpful if you are trying to document different screens,
menus etc. in Word or other software. The button captures whatever is on
the screen when you press it, but you won't see anything. If you want to
save/print what your PrintScreen button captured open Paint (Start,
Programs, Accessories, Paint) and click Edit, Paste. Now you have the image
you captured in Paint. You can modify the shape and size and then print or
save it. There may be other or even better ways to do this but this is the
one I know. Hope it helps. If not, then never mind.
