A screenshot - a screenshot - is most often taken to show it to someone else. This is sometimes necessary in cases where the addressee does not see what is happening on the screen of this computer. Working with screenshots usually consists of two stages. The purpose of the first is to take a screenshot, and the second is to show it to the recipient. If the problem of the first stage can be solved by simply pressing the Print Screen key, then the solution of the second one depends on the software used to communicate with the addressee.
Instructions
Step 1
Place the screenshot in the operating system clipboard - press the Print Screen key.
Step 2
If you need to insert a screenshot into a text document, and you have the opportunity to use Microsoft Office Word, the procedure will be very simple. After launching the program and loading the required document, place the insertion cursor at the location of the future location of the screenshot. Then use the paste operation: select such an item in the context menu or press the key combination Ctrl + V. After inserting, the screenshot can be adjusted to the size of the document using the tools of the "Working with Pictures: Format" additional tab.
Step 3
If you want to insert a screenshot into posts on web forums, blogs, social networking sites or any other Internet resources, you will have to save it to a file. Word will not help with this, because the document format it saves will not appear as an image on the web page. Use, for example, the standard graphics editor from Windows - MS Paint. Find a link to launch it in the OS main menu and open the application. This will automatically create a blank document. Press Ctrl + V and the snapshot in memory will be inserted into the document.
Step 4
Use the "hot keys" Ctrl + S to call the file save dialog and select jpeg, gif or.
Step 5
Attach the screenshot file to your post. The order of actions on different web resources may be the same or different depending on what scripts are used on these sites. For example, on the Vkontakte social network, to insert a screenshot, click on the "Attach" link under the right edge of the message input field. In the drop-down list, select the "Photo" item, and in the opened separate window, click the "Browse" button. The standard dialog for searching for a file in the computer will start. Find the screenshot you just created, select it and click Open. After that, a reduced preview picture will appear under the message you are typing, and you can send it.
