Use Print Screen to Share Your Computer Screen

One of the built in functions of any operating system is to capture whatever you are displaying on your screen.

I use screen capture to make tutorials and save digital receipts for purchases. This tutorial will show you how to:

  1. Create a screen shot on a Windows Computer
  2. Paste the screen shot into a word processing program (in this case, Microsoft Word)
  3. Save the file in Rich Text Format (.rtf) so that it can be opened by alternative programs other than Microsoft Word.

Step #1 - press the print screen button on your keyboard


Step #2 - Open a Word Processing Document, such as Open Office or Microsoft Word
Step #3 - Right Click anywhere on the screen and choose Paste
Step #4 - Save the File in Rich Text Format

  1. File>>Save As
  2. Make Sure that you save the screen shot to the desktop (so you can find it later)
  3. In the Save as Type, click on the drop down menu and choose Rich Text Format
