screen shot

Is a screen shot only for MAC's or can it be done with XP
home?

Hi Griff

I know the way a mac automatically creats the pic, nice touch. On PC you
got to press the print screen button (above cursors) then go into any
application (photoshoy or paint etc) and do a paste (ctrl+V). That'll do
it.

Try Alt + Print Screen and Ctrl + print screen. (active
window and full screen - I forget which is which) Then
paste into word PPoint etc.

Press Alt. + Print Screen, paste to an app. gives the image in the forefront
only.

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard (iow, into RAM). To view the screen capture, open a
graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will
paste the contents of the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open
file, and allow you to view it or save it as a file for later use.
