Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p

    Press 'Print Screen' button then open MSPaint, click the edit button then right click and paste then save the image in your preffered format and then when you are compiling your email simply attach the file.

    Thats how I do it anyway

    raptorman isn't talking about icons, he means the actual keys on your keyboard. There should be one labelled "print screen" or "prt scr" or something similar.

    Hmmmmm.... Are you sure? :confused:

    The button is "print screen" not just "print" and is found on the top-rght of your key-board. Although some may vary.

    Like people have said, press that once, (nothing will noticably happen) then open "paint" or "MS Word" and press Paste.

    That should do it. Not sure if I've answered your problem though :o

    Usually top right, next to F12 key.

    Alternatively, you could use MWSnap, a useful little tool but not quite as intuitive as you would like.

    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.
