Answer 1

I use a program called Purrint.  It allows you to take a screenshot, then opens a window which allows you to save it in multiple file formats, print it, or email it.

Answer 2

To capture your entire desktop

   1. Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. (This button is usually located above and to the right of the function keys and may be labeled "PrtSc"). Pressing this button saves the screenshot to the computer's memory .

   2. Now you need to open a graphic application to paste the screenshot. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint (or go to Start > Run > type mspaint)

   3. With Paint open, hit CTRL + V to paste the screenshot into the window.

   4. Go to File > Save to save the image. You may select various graphic file types. .GIF and .JPG are readable by all computers.

Answer 3

Alt-Print Scrn, then Ctrl-V in MS Word or an image editing program might work.

Answer 4

As long as you only want to take a screenshot and not record what is playing on your computer screen, there is a key on the keyboard that is called print screen ('Prnt Scrn'). Depending on which computer you have, it is located in a different place -- for most computers, it is in the top right-hand corner. (For me, it's more towards the center). If you press that, it will take a snapshot of your screen as it looks (without the mouse pointer).

Hope this helped!!
