Print what you see on your screen

Print what you see on your screen 

Ever wonder how to save something you see right click does not  let you there still a way this will only work for what you see so if there more that you want but you need to scroll down to see it you will have to go back and do this over again this will save everything that you see on your screen from the very top to bottom and from the left to the right so if there just a picture that you want you can crop just that after you open it OK here how to do it

#1 First open Paint it has to be open in the back ground

#2 Go to the thing you want to copy or print (it's what your looking at that this in going to save PRESS THE fn button normally right next to the CTRL or WINDOWS button hold it down now press the prt sc button both these button normally have the fn - prt sc inside a Box on you keyboard you done that.

#3 Now open paint back up that's in the background (remember paint has to be opened first in the back ground)  right click the screen and click paste or click the  edit button  and then click paste Thats it now click the crop button    see figure 1 below

figure 1
and put it around the part you what to save or print right click inside what you just cropped and click copy 
then click file click new it will pop up a box asking in you want to save click the save button will save your whole picture that you created with the print screen button you can click don't save as long as there nothing else that you want from the picture other wise save it. NOW when the new blank opens click paste TIP the blank white box that opens need to be smaller then the cropped picture that your pasting in I normally make it very small (LIKE ABOVE) that way you picture will not have white around it not to worry it wont be that small paint resizes it up to the size  you cropped. It does not resize it down to you picture that why I say make it small first about 1 inch by 1 inch just put your mouse in the bottom right corner and drag it up and to the left OK click that paste botton  and save it
