>Without installing additional programs, you can press "PrintScreen". This will copy the contents of the screen to the ClipBoard. Then you can paste into Paint, select a rectangle, copy it, and paste it in Word.

Just to add a little bit, A. and Hilmar: if you press {Alt+PrintScreen} only the foreground window goes to the clipboard (of course, editing may be needed if one is trying to document just a dialog in the application, for instance).

>However, I strongly recommend getting a screen capture program - freeware or otherwise - like the excellente HardCopy. www.hardcopy.de. This should save you some work.

Hilmar, does this capture the mouse pointer too?
