Print Screen question

Hi All,
When print screen is pressed,where does it store the picture.
I have never used this feature.
Im trying to get a picture from some software i use to open .sor file onto adobe reader.
Thanks

The image is stored in the clipboard.
Just use the paste function in whatever application you want the image.

Into Windows clipboard. Any decent paint program will paste it out.*

* MS Paint does too.

EDIT: Too slow.

Not unless the picture has been saved in a PDF Document.

A little bit off topic, but relates to the issue. Saves making a new thread.

I was just wondering, how do you print screen the whole of the page? I.e the whole of the ocuk main forum page in 1 screen shot? I've seen many people do it, would love to know how.

Thanks in advance.

Press F11 in the browser for Full screen then print screen?

It is possible.

If you are using Office 2003 you have a printer option of "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer". Go to print and use the drop down box on the printer. It allows you to save the page as a file. Works in anything that has a print button.

Alt+Printscreen Copy's just the selcted window.
Snip tool in vista is also very good

Ah heard about this (am a XP user at the moment). Is the 'snip' tool similar to 'SnagIt'? i.e. lets you click n' drag and dumps that part into clipboard?
