PRINT SCREEN

Take a screen capture (print screen)

You can take a picture of what is on your screen by pressing PRINT SCREEN (PRTSC or PRTSCN on some keyboards). This is called a screen capture. You can then paste the screen capture into a document, e‑mail message, or other file. There are two types of screen captures you can take: the entire screen, or just the active window. For example, if you have three programs open at the same time, you might want a screen capture of only the active window.

To copy the entire screen
•Press PRINT SCREEN.

To copy only an active window
•Press ALT+PRINT SCREEN.
