How to take a screenshot

Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how to take a screenshot as I still consider myself a computer peasant. Cheers...

1. press and hold the 'alt' button
2. press the 'print screen' button while still holding the 'alt' button
3. open Word or Paint and press 'ctrl'-'v' at the same time to paste the shot you've taken

If you skip step 1, you get a shot of your entire monitor
If you use step 2, you get a shot of only the application window that is in focus

... and after having saved the shot - i prfer jpg - reduce it to 80%, otherwise it can happen that it is to big for being posted.

Thank you Scooter7. Much appreciated.

Funny thing. I tested the screenshot on a few casinos and only at Allslots was the screen blacked out on half the page.

Welcome to the forum!

I think that was the first question I asked when I first joined!

I hope the above posts were helpful, but if you need more there's some more details in the Q&A section of CasinoMeister (thanks to Simmo!), and I believe a regular poster here even has a page all about screenshots in his beginners guides...
