WindowsTaking screenshots is a very useful procedure when you want to share with others what your screen looks like, error messages, etc.
In Microsoft Windows a screenshot of the entire monitor, complete with taskbar, can be copied to the system clipboard by pressing the
Print screen key (top row, on the right of F12 key). Alternatively, pressing
ALT + Print Screen will copy just the active window to the clipboard (i.e. an error message or only a specific window).
Once you have taken the screenshot go to Word, paste it, select the screenshot, press
Ctrl+C to copy it, go to your email message, press
Ctrl+V to paste it. That's it!
There are many third-party programs available to take screenshots with advanced functionality. Most computer graphics software (e.g., IrfanView, GIMP, and Photoshop) can acquire screenshots. Typically, these programs can be configured to include or exclude the mouse pointer, automatically crop out everything but the client area of the active window, take timed shots, and so on.
