capturing screen shots

[RB]

When I open a screen that is isn the middle of successively smaller screens,
and want to get a copy of the smallest, innermost one, I attempt to do this
using ALT-PRT SCRN, then pasting to a Notepad window. No luck.

Then, I attempted to capture all the screens by using PRT SCRN, again
attempting to paste to a Notepad window. No luck.

How do I do this?

Notepad does not accept graphics. You have to paste the image into a program
that accepts graphics like paint, or word, or excel, or any graphics
program.

Try a graphics program not a text program. Paint comes to mind.

You can't. Notepad is a text-only program. You have captured a
graphic image to the clipboard and need to paste it into a
program that can deal with graphics, such as Microsoft Paint,
Word, etc.
