Unable to perform print screen to copy into docs

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a problem when I try to use the print screen function I find I am
unable to paste the image into a word document. I have tried the obvious prt
sc button on my keyboard. I have tried alt+prt sc and also ctrl+alt+prt sc.
My PC is connected to a network in a domain. I was wondering if there is a
restriction on the global policy or locally on my machine that might be
restricting me from doing this. Is there a way to check this if my machine is
locked somehow.

Every keyboard I have tried I am still unable to perform a print screen
capture.

Thanks

Luke

Do you have a keyboard with an FLock key to allow dual fkey functions? If so
press the FLock key to toggle the settings before
pressing PRTSCRN or ALT+PRNTSCRN

no I don't it is just a basic Dell keyboard with no extra keys and no Flock
key. Also this seems to happen no matter what other keyboard I use.

What happens when you hit the PrintScreen key and try to paste it into a
document? Anything?

When I hit the printscreen key the pointer flickers and when I right click in
a document to paste I find the paste option is greyed out which normally
means there is nothing in the clipboard. Also ctrl+V doesn't do anything.

Is Word already open when you perform the PrintScreen operation? Some
add-ins clear the Clipboard when starting Word.

I have tried performing a print screen when word is open and when it is
closed doesn't seem to make any difference. One thing I have noticed is
sometimes it will allow me to do a print screen when I do
CTRL+ALT+PrintScreen but majority of the time this won't work. I don't think
it is the keyboard as it seems to happen with other keyboards I have tried
also.

It seems whatever you try the print screen function doesn't place the image
into clipboard.

I suggest you try Print Screen Deluxe. It's perfect for capturing
your screen or just certain windows. Extremely easy too. Just hit
the <Print Screen> key.

You can then edit the image, add arrows, or text to it, then paste it
into Word, or save it to a file.
