Screen Capture

1) This is a lesson on screen capture. We use screen capture to save a picture of something or text to our clipboard. Then we are able to use the clipboard to insert the picture in e-mails or use in documents. We will do screen captures using our keyboard. On your keyboard there is a Print Screen key. Below shows you what it will look like.

2) When you want to capture a picture, all you do is push the Print Screen key once. Now you have saved the screen capture to your clipboard. Lets try it. Go to your desktop and with all windows minimized so you are able to view your desktop background, click on the Print Screen key one time. You have now saved your desktop picture to your clipboard. Now we are going to go view our clipboard.

3) Left click on Start, down on your tool bar.

4) Left click on Program Files.

5) Left click on Accessories.

6) Left click on System Tools.

7) Left click on Clipboard Viewer.

8) This is what your clipboard will look like.

9) Now we are going to save what is on our clipboard. Left click on file. A drop down box will pop up and then left click on save as.

10) Now what you do is name your file, in the File name area. Now go to Folders area browse by scrolling down to find the folder you want to save this picture in. When you have found the folder, left click on to highlight it and then click on Ok. Now you have saved your clipboard picture in that folder.
