>>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?
No. I just tested it with the default options. I didn't find an option to include the mouse pointer.
Hilmar.
