Anyone know how to do a screen shot?

Tiny Nell

I've done it before, but I can't remember how!

Oh, I cannot believe that! There is actually a 'Print Screen' button on the keyboard!
Thanks, heather.

heather

I have to look it up every time.
I know where the button is but can never remember what to do after that!

Tiny Nell

I've had a go at that but nothing's happening...

heather

It always looks like nothing is happening - you have to paste the screenshot from the clipboard to Word or Paint or something.
Have you followed ALL the instructions?

heather

Just tried myself again.
Clicked PRTSCRN, opened Word, right clicked with mouse, chose Paste.
There it was!

Tiny Nell

Oh yes! I just did what you did.

The trouble is, I wanted to share it as a photo, but it doesn't know it is one.

Bill

if you paste it into paint you can 'cut' just the bit you want. Then enlarge or reduce that bit.

heather

I was just going to say that!
Click PRTSCRN, open Paint, Choose the paste option button (top left)
Then File, save as, Jpeg.
(or edit first if you don't want all of it)

I've always wondered how to do that. Things you can learn on this site...

Me too! I was just trying to print a map showing location of my chosen carpark in Dublin... oh the shenanigans I've been through... and if I'd checked into talkback FIRST - it would have saved me all that bother. ~X(

Tiny Nell

Thank you, thank you! I have done it! Geronimo!!

Now I have things all over my screen which I need to put away tidily...

You can also take photos (and choose which format you want) with things like Skitch in Evernote. Skitch was a mac thing but Evernote have ruined it. But it's very handy for screenshots of anything, you can size it and print it and draw on it in the app.
