Making Screenshots

Adice + info sought.

I thought that Shift + Print Screen was the way to make a screenshot or so I thought I had read somewhere?

However I get no screenshots? Or if I did I have no idea where it went.

I am presently writing up an AAR based on one of my Campaigns and wanted to add some screenshots but so far I have not found a way to?

Actually I believe it's ALT - Print Screen. And it just puts the screenshot into the memory, you have to paste it into a graphics program. :)

You can copy your screen by pressing the Print Screen key. To save the file you need to paste it to a image processing tool, for example MS Paint.

You can also use 3rd party tools to create screenshots. I like this one: http://www.hardcopy.de/hardcopy/english/index.php

Once again thank you for the info and the link. I have downloaded hard copy and I have found it relatively easy to learn to use - also being free is another boon.
