Screen CaptureAny image you currently see on your computer screen can be "CAPTURED", placed into memory (the Clipboard), pasted into another program (word processor, Paint, or other application) and then printed to your printer or saved to a file for later use.You could accomplish the same thing by taking a picture with your smart phone -- presto -- you have a picture of your computer screen with the image you wanted. 249174015684500So, how do I do it?For this example, let's pretend you have clicked on My Computer and you are viewing the files in a particular File Folder (directory) on your C: drive. You would like to have a copy of this particular screen.Step 1:? With this screen image on your computer, press the Print Screen key on your keyboard.Just tap this key once!

Click on the Start button, the lower left-hand corner of your Windows screen.Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint (or Paint 3D) or WordPad Step 3:? If your Paint or WordPad screen is small, maximize your Paint or WordPad screen by clicking on the Maximize (middle) icon in the upper right-hand corner of the WordPad screen.Step 4: Click on Edit/Paste. This will copy the computer screen image from memory (clipboard) to your WordPad or Paint document.Step 5:?
