screen shot ?

[RB]

For some reason, my screen shot function doesn't work. I thought the way it
was supposed to work is when I press the key labelled Prt Scrn, it was
supposed to copy the active screen, and then I could go to some blank
document window and paste it in.

However, no workee that way. So, how do I get a screen snapshot??? Is this
a blatant case of operator trubs?

You need to press Alt + Print Screen

Works for me in WordPad and Word 2003. Which program(s) are you trying to
paste into?
Try this freeware screen capture program MWSnap:

Greetings --

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.
