by pressing the "PrintScreen" button on your keyboard , you actually save the shot into clipboard . So, by opening most of the Windows program's ie. Paint ,Publisher ,Word, etc and clicking on paste or a combination of "Control" & "V" will make it appear on the page .I open Paint Shop Pro up for this as it will save it as a .jpg ,but I would think most Photo programs will do it too .So ,if you have'nt got a photo editing program even a very basic one and theres plenty of freebies out there , go get one now .
