How can I copy a screen graphic like a window in Biab so I can email it to my buddy to explain how a function works?
Using Win 98
Thanks
Joe

Joe,

Once you have the image you want on your screen you can hold down your shift key and select the PrintScn (print Screen) key. Then go into your paint program and paste it in. Once you have it in your paint program you can save it to the hard drive and then attach it to your email. I e-mailed you an example.

Joe and Bob, I think you will get the same results if you press the PrintScreen key (without the shift key) when you have on the screen what you want to send. Then either open Paint, click EDIT and then PASTE, or open you word processor and do the same thing.
I don't mean to act like a know-it-all but thats how I teach my Senior Citizen students using my K.I.S.S. Kards. Hope it works for you.

Print Screen by itself copies the entire screen. To copy JUST a window to the clipboard, click in the window to make it active, then use Alt-Print Screen.

I think the shift key is a Canadian thing.

I just tried Gere's way and can confirm that it works on my XP.

Jon
You are right. It is Canadian, but I also tried it the US way and it also worked.

Thanks all. I have this Logitech keyboard and it has an F lock key I found by accident.
Pressed it and now everything works, but I had still forgotten how to do the little trick.

And, thanks Bob for the email.
