Someone teach me to copy pictures and images!?

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

A computer

Microsoft Paint or similar program

Step 1

Make sure that your computer screen is showing the information you want to capture in an image. Scroll the screen to make sure the information is all visible on the screen as this method doesn't capture information that isn't visible.

Step 2

Hold down the Control key (CTRL) and press Print Screen. This key is usually to the top right hand side of the main keyboard - see photo.

Step 3

Using Select in Paint You will now have captured a copy of the entire screen and you can paste it into another program to store it. However, you often only want a part of the screen to be shown, and this is where Paint comes in. Open Paint - usually found under Start:All Programs:Accessories on a Windows PC and paste (Edit:Paste) or Ctrl V.

Step 4

Selecting the desired image Click on the selection tool, and drag a square around the part of the screen you wish to capture. Then choose Edit:Copy or Ctrl C to copy that part of the picture.

Step 5

Pasted into Word The final step is to place the picture into a document. This could be into Word if you are creating a newsletter, PowerPoint if you want to create a slide show, or into an email if you are sending a copy to a friend. Simply open the appropriate program and choose Edit:Paste to put the picture into the text. That's all there is to it!
