I know there's a way to take a picture of something you see on your screen but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me? Also, who do we email when we see consultants selling products on kijiji, craigslist etc? Is the same in Canada as the US?

Thanks in advance!
 
To take a screenshot (on a PC), hit the "prt sc" button that should be to the left of the delete button. Then open up the program named "Paint", you should find that under Accessories and paste it into a blank document. Once in Paint, choose the select button (it looks like a square with dotted borders) and select the stuff you really want, cut & open another new paint doc. It will ask you if you want to save the first doc, say no. Then in the 2nd paint doc, paste & then click on crop. Use the pull down to save as a jpg (which is NOT the default) and choose where you want to save the picture!

Wonderful, thank you Kristina! How do I 'paste' and could I do this right into the body of an email? I want to email the screenshot to PChef showing the ad that's on a fb yardsale site. This active consultant is regularly posting things for sale on this local site and it's getting rather annoying.

I hit shift-Prt Scr. And its location varies on different keyboards. Mine is above the backspace key.

Woohoo! It's so much fun learning new things :D Okay, so I've saved it in my pictures as a jpg and I'll just attach it to the email.

Mine was actually on the top row beside the F12 key. Wierd how they can't all be universal like the rest of the QWERTY keyboard!
 
You're welcome! And, yes just attach it to the email you send in to home office. =D
 
[alt] [prtsc] will give you a shot of the active window, so you can get a screen shot of just what you want instead of the entire screen:

Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone help me take a screenshot on my computer?

Yes, taking a screenshot on your computer is quite simple. If you're using Windows, you can press the "PrtScn" key to capture the entire screen or "Alt + PrtScn" to capture just the active window. On a Mac, you can press "Command + Shift + 4" to select a specific area to capture. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!

How do I take a screenshot on my smartphone?

Taking a screenshot on your smartphone varies by device. For most Android phones, you can press the "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons simultaneously. On iPhones, you can press the "Side" button and the "Volume Up" button at the same time. If you're using an older iPhone with a home button, press the "Home" and "Power" buttons together.

Can I take a screenshot of a specific area on my screen?

Yes, you can take a screenshot of a specific area on your screen. On Windows, use "Windows + Shift + S" to open the Snipping Tool, which allows you to select the area you want to capture. On a Mac, "Command + Shift + 4" lets you drag to select the area you want to screenshot.

What should I do if my screenshot is not saving?

If your screenshot is not saving, check your device's storage settings to ensure you have enough space. On Windows, screenshots typically save to the "Pictures" folder under "Screenshots." On Mac, they usually save to the desktop. If you're still having trouble, try restarting your device or checking your screenshot settings.

Can I edit my screenshot after taking it?

Yes, you can edit your screenshot after taking it. Most devices come with built-in editing tools. On Windows, you can open the screenshot in Paint or Photos to make edits. On Mac, you can use Preview for basic editing. There are also many third-party apps available for more advanced editing options.
