How to Make a ScreenShot

TAKE A SCREENSHOT?

What's a SCREENSHOT?

As you may know that on your cell-phone you have the ability to take a picture of what is on your screen--this is called a SCREENSHOT or a SCREEN CAPTURE.

Back in the olden days of computers, you often needed to print what was on your screen so that you could go back and look at it later. So a BUTTON was put on the keyboard called "PRTSCR".

Today, that button no longer will send what is on your screen to the PRINTER--but now it takes a PIC of your SCREEN and puts the image on the CLIPBOARD. From there you can PASTE the image anywhere that you want it.

I usually PASTE it into PAINT so that I can CROP the image to the part that I am most interested in. Here's a video of how this is done.
