Print Screen and Paste
How often have you wanted to be able to capture what is currently on your
screen, and use it elsewhere ? That capability has always been at your
fingertips and, guess what, it's another cut and paste.
Whenever you have something on your screen that you want to capture and use elsewhere, simply hit
the print screen key in the upper right hand side of your keyboard. You can
then paste it into a Word document using CTRL V to paste, or into an email,
again using CTRL V.
You can then resize that image in Word, or crop it, and
you can email, fax or print the document.
Here are just a few situations I have used this very effectively within the last few days:
- To take a picture of option settings for a tax program displayed on the screen,
then paste it into Word and print it to provide others with the proper
configuration to enter on their computers
- When my computer showed an error message when trying to load a program, I
pasted the view of the screen into an email to tech support
- When getting ready to upgrade computers for this weekend, I printed out
screen shots of existing desktop configurations, to make sure I was able to
recreate all of the icons properly
- While calling tech support for QuickBooks today, I printed out the
Help/About screen with Serial #'s, Key Codes etc. and attached them to our
contact record in Act for QuickBooks so that we would always have that
information at our fingertips in the future
Next time you have something on your screen that you need to show someone either
now or in the future, think about capturing it. It's just one keystroke
away.
