For your convenience, here are the options and their corresponding keys. (The Command key is the one with a picture of an Apple on it!)

• Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
• Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
• Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
• Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
• Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard
• Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard

In Leopard and later, the following keys can be held down while selecting an area (via Command-Shift-4 or Command-Control-Shift-4):

• Space, to lock the size of the selected region and instead move it when the mouse moves
• Shift, to resize only one edge of the selected region
• Option, to resize the selected region with its center as the anchor point

Screenshot ability is part of your operating system rather than the application you are using. What version of Windows are you running?

The most simple way is to use the PrtScn button which will put the screenshot to your clipboard and you can then paste it to Paint or your preferred image application. If your using Windows 7 or Vista you can use the Snipping tool

Seriously? It's on the keyboard right in front of you. It'll be labelled Print Screen or Prt Scn or something similar.

Once you've pressed it, open up Paint then press CTRL-V or click on Edit then Paste and it'll create the screenshot in Paint which you can then save as a JPEG picture file.

PrtScrn copies the whole desktop to the clipboard

Alt+PrtScrn copies the active window.

You can then paste the clipboard into Paint or similar picture manipulator.

PrtScrn is usually to the left of NumLock or ScrollLock at Top Right of a keyboard, and usually shares a key with SysRq

A bit more sophisticated than PrtScn - but easy to use.

I wasn't aware of the latter but have just tried it and it still copies the address bar and shows everyone what other tabs I have open!
I am running XP Home on an Asus Eee.

Once you've pressed it, open up Paint .

If the OP has had to ask that, then I envisage a scenario where they have pressed said key, nothing appears to happen so they have given up. (yes, that is just what I myself did all those years ago!)
