Screen Print?

How do I "take a picture" of a screen on the web, and save it as a photo so I can put in into a Word document?

I know so many on here do it, several of you have sent me 'screen pictures' in a PM to walk me through how to do something. Now I want to walk someone through and I can't seem to get a screen picture.
Thanks!

What operating system do you use? Windows? Mac?

Use the "print scr" key then paste the image into Paint.

Not every keyboard has that key. That's why I asked what kind of computer she is using, and what operating system.

Windows XP home edition.

Mainly that applies to laptops with their miniaturized keyboards, but I understand your logic.

I don't see a 'Print Screen" button.??

The button, if you have it, should say something like "prt scr" and off to the right or bottom it should, also, have "sysrq". :) For me, it's right next to the scroll lock, page up, etc. (right above the arrow keys)

"To make Print Screen work, you must save an image of what's displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then paste it into a document where it can be printed.

Windows Help: Print Screen

To do this, follow this procedure:
1. Maximize the window you'd like to capture.
2. To copy/capture the current window, hold down ALT + Print Scrn at the same time. To capture the entire screen, just press Print Scrn.
3. Open a new document in MS Word, MS Photo Editor, or Adobe PhotoShop.
4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time.
5. Print the document when you're finished pasting screen shots."
