Question
How do I send you a screen print on the active window?

Answer
Have you ever pressed the print screen key on your Windows keyboard and wondered why it was there since it never seemed to do anything? Well, it does do something! It places an image of your screen on the clipboard, ready to paste into any graphics program. These steps show you how to use it along with Windows' standard image editor, Microsoft Paint, to save an image of your screen.

1. Run WordPad or Word and leave the document window blank.
   You can launch WordPad by going to Start/All Programs/Accessories/WordPad.
   
2. Minimize WordPad to get it out of the way
   
3. Start your program.
   
4. Go to the screen that you want to save.
   
5. Press the ALT + Print Screen key.
   
6. Click inside the WordPad document window and press Ctrl-V to paste the screen image into the document window. (You can also use the "Edit/Paste" menu to do this.)
   If you want to save more than one screens, then repeat the step 4 to 6.
   Add each screen with a brief summary of what I should be looking for.
   
7. Save the WordPad document. If you wish you can also zip this file.
   

Open your email program and attach the WordPad document.
