Need To Do A Screen Shot?, Here's how Options

[Rebecca Beasley]

This is something I learned several years ago and
would like to pass on for anyone who needs to send
a screen shot, for instance..you have an error that
you want to show someone, or you're seeing something
on their site that they're not seeing.

Send them a shot of your screen.

Just press the print screen button on your keyboard
This puts what you see on your screen on your clipboard.

Now open up start/programs/accessories/paint

After you open your paint program, just hit ctrl v to paste.

Now save the screen shot as filename.gif or jpg (bmp is too large)

Now you can send it via messenger or e-mail by clicking on the send file
or browse button and send the picture to them.

Hi Rooster,

If you have windows, from 95-vista, you have a paint program, but you just probably never used it!

It can be found in the Start menu, off of All Programs>Accessories

It's just called Paint.

However, if you don't have Paint (not installed perhaps) you can paste the image in wordpad too! Wordpad can be found in the same location as Paint would be.

Finally, you can download a number of free paint software, including The Gimp, which I heartily recommend.
