You’ve just come across some information and you want to save it.  Copying and pasting just won’t do it – you’ll lose all the formatting and it just won’t be easy to read without it.  In just a few steps you can save any screen shot.  Try this:

1.  Go to the page you want to save

2.  On your computer keyboard, select CTRL and Print Screen at the same time. It will appear that nothing just happened.

3.  Go to a blank Word or other page and click CTRL and V  (Control-V is the keyboard command to “paste”.  Your screen print will appear.

4.  Alternatively, you can go to the editor of SnagIt or use another similar application and click CTRL and V as well.  This will paste the item in the editor where you can save it with any number of file extensions including .PNG or .JPG.
