Tip of the week:
Using PrintScreen
Where can I find the PrintScreen button?
What does it do?
PrintScreen takes a snapshot or picture of all the images and text that are currently on your display screen. It copies and stores this image on the Clipboard (an invisible holding area for content that is copied). An example of the PrintScreen function is shown below.
To use this image in an application, just simply press Ctrl + V (paste shortcut). This will paste the screenshot into your open document i.e. MS Paint, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint etc.
Alternatively, you can use ALT + PrintScreen
Using ALT + PrintScreen
Where can I find these buttons?
What does it do?
In the previous section we used the PrintScreen function by itself, and we learnt that this button takes a snapshot of all, and whatever is on your display screen.
By using ALT + PrintScreen, only a snapshot of your selected window will be taken. An example is shown below.
Like before, pressing CTRL+V will paste the snapshot image into your selected document.
