Hi there tekkie AOB peeps .... I made a screen-shot today for the first time, via my office computer. the keyboard I use at work has a "screen-shot" key, so it was very easy. However, the keyboard I use at home does not have a screen shot key - is there a combination of keys to press so I can do this at home. I thought I was extremely clever doing this at work today, but now that I'm using my home keyboard, I can't see how . Many thanks, hope someone can help.

Best wishes, Chox.

Do you have a key that has 'prt scr' on it? If so, that is your print screen/screenshot button, once pressed you then have to have some sort of program to 'paste' it into, Microsoft Word or a graphic editing program will do.
Try Printscreen. then you can paste into a Word document for example
There are a lot of free screen grabbers - this is the one that have been using for some time http://www.picpick.org/en/ and it allows you to set hotkeys for all the various types of capture that it allows.
Note that Alt+Print Screen will capture the current WINDOW rather than the whole desktop.

Also note Windows 7 (and I think Vista and maybe 8) has a program built in called Snipping Tool that can capture an area of the screen and save it as an image (jpg, png etc).

You use the mouse to "draw" a box round the area you want to capture.
