    hiya,

    There is a work aroud. It should also work with most versions of windows.

    Do the Print Screen command sequence (ie Func/FN+Print Screen/PrtScrn - This will save an image of the screen within Cache memory/Ram). Once this is done, simply open your favourite paint programme, and open a new image screen. In a blank area of the main painting screen, simply press RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to bring up a pop menu, select Paste from here by pressing the Left Mouse Button, this should deposit the image of the screen you grabbed. Edit screen as you see fit or as desirable. Save out the image in the format that is appropriate for your intended use. Remembering that Copyright laws still apply to all images that you grab and use for commercial purposes, or written content.

    In "Word" you can simply paste the image within a document from the edit menu, and select Paste (even within vista this should indeed be possible). You could do the above procedure and paste the image file from the insert picture file menu item as well. If this fails check your Help files for more information on probable solutions to pasting in a grabbed image into your current work - This should solve all the problems as listed here.

    Hope this helps,

    Alex
