Some of you may not have a PRTSC (print screen) button on your laptop, and you're asking why you really need one. Well, since our 205 class is now blogging for the semester, screen shots that demonstrate what you are writing about will be helpful (a picture is worth a thousand words). If you don't have a PRTSC button, screen shots may be difficult to capture. In Windows 7, you can use an on-screen keyboard (screen shot below). You may need to size it or move it around to capture the shot you want, but it's a simple way to obtain your screen shot. The steps are:
- Click your office button from your desktop
(lower left screen for most of us)
- Type on-screen keyboard in
the box that says SEARCH PROGRAMS AND FILES
- Click the on-screen keyboard when it appears in
the list
- Once you have the screen shot you want (you may
have to move the on-screen keyboard around or make it smaller to get the screen
shot you want), press the PRT SCN button then go to Word or another program and
paste (CTRL+V) it there. You can
right-mouse click on the screen shot and choose SAVE AS PICTURE. You can then upload that picture into your
blog.
