1. QUICK SCREEN/WINDOW CAPTURE TIP:
Did you know that pressing the
'Print-Scrn' key on the keyboard will capture a bitmap of your entire
screen to the clipboard? Or, if you just want to capture a bitmap of
the currently running application window (not the entire screen, but
just the window with the focus), press and hold the 'Alt' key down, and
then press the 'Print-Scrn' key. To use the captured screen image, run
most any application (like your word processor) and go to the
'Edit/Paste' menu item (or try pressing the 'ctrl-v' keyboard shortcut)
to paste the screen image.
