Often it is difficult to try and answer a member's question without providing a screen shot or a series of screen shots with explainations. Here is an example post of screen shots in use made in an effort to help members:

How to post pictures

How do you make a screen shot? You go to the screen in question and hit "print screen" on your keyboard. Often above the right side number keys.

Once you have done this you can open up a paint or picture managing program. I use the simple "paint" program usually installed on all pc's as a part of windows.

Once in "paint" I hit 'Ctrl V" and presto. The page appears. You can now draw on this screen shot or add text or whatever. You can play around with it like any other image file.

Hope this helps.

It is blurry because it was resized. If you want to capture jus a portion of the screen shot you can highlight area and save and if the area is smaller it will not lose as much clarity. It also makes a difference as to what type of file it is.......(.bmp or .jpg etc)

Play around with it. It is very useful. I use paint to do logo's and everthing. lol.
