How do you capture an image?

...capture an image on the screen and print it? I mean, like, how could you photograph, if you like, a small section of Word so that you can print it off? So that it would print the toolbar if you captured an image of it. I've tried the "Prt Scr" button, but it doesn't work.

It should. Are you using it correctly?
The Print Screen button makes a screenshot of how your monitor currently looks, but you have to open a paint program (like Paintshop or similar) and click Paste for it to appear. Then, if you wish you can crop the image to show just the part of the screen you wanted to use. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Hope that helps!

Sometimes Print Scrn doesn't work with different programs (such as 3D accelerated programs) You can download special screen capture programs which allow you to take multiple shots and do all this funky stuff!
