How to print screen so I can capture dropdown window.

[Guest]

With previous Window products I was able to capture a screen with drop down
menus by just pressing the print screen button then going to my Word doc. and
either doing CTRL+v or paste. The ALT+print screen and then print screen when
in doc. doesn't work with my new laptop. Nor does my old way work. I haven't
gone to Snagit nor used the MS Paint process because there should still be a
simple process as before. Is there a componet that I haven't downloaded?

It has never been possible to capture menus or list boxes with Print Screen.
SnagIt (www.techsmith.com) is a powerful tool, reasonably priced, and there
is a free trial available.

You can capture whatever is on your screen using printkey 2000 and its free.
The free version is not quite as good as snagIt but you can capture menus:
