You looked up directions to the restaurant where you have an appointment and you now want to send an email of the map to your disciple.

OR . . . You found a great article and photo and want to print just that part of the website to mail to your mother-in-law instead of the whole three pages.

Use Print Screen

If you want to make a copy of what is on your screen, take a screenshot.  If you insert it in a Word document and/or into an Outlook email, you could then use picture formatting to crop your image.  Or, play around with Alt+Print Screen, which will just take a screen shot of a window on your screen.  (Read more from Microsoft…)

I wonder if other keyboards around the world are not laid out in the same way.  You may have a “Print Screen” key in another location on your keyboard than I do.  If anyone knows about other keyboards, please comment here.
