Adding Screenshots

Adding Screenshots to documents and presentations is really easy. Just follow these simple steps to add a screenshot image similar to this one:

 

• To capture the screen image, simply press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. It is usually located in the upper right corner and sometimes labeled “Prt Scrn.”
• Open the document or presentation you want to place the image into.
• Click “paste” on the standard toolbar.
• Treat the screen shot just like any other image.
• You can also paste the image in Microsoft Paint or another image editing software and make changes to it.
