Honestly, I didn't even know there was a Print Screen key! I just found it. I
don't think it's stuck. How does it work?
Basically, I'll copy or cut some highlighted text, then when I press ctrl v
to paste it somewhere else, a picture of the whole screen is added instead of
what I wanted to paste.
Print Screen copies an image of your screen to the clipboard which you can
then Paste anywhere you like. There is no other (easy) way to get a screen
image so if that's what you're getting, it's almost certain that the Print
Screen function is being invoked. If you're not doing it, the key is
probably stuck (perhaps a dirty keyboard - I know mine gets crumbs and ash
in it (but fortunately no coffee yet) and needs a good clean now and again).
Does this happen just in Word, or in all programs?
That could be it. I'll give it a clean and see what happens. It only started
happening recently.
No, it happened with Excel too. It also happens if I try and copy something
from the Web into a Word document. And when I try and clear these screen
copies from the clipboard, they keep reaapearing.
This is so weird!
