Screen Capture

When asked to provide images or maps in the assignment, use the standard Windows functionality to create screen captures, and then place these inside your document. For those of you who do not know how this is done, here are instructions (which, incidentally, is how all of these course pages were created):
  1. Size the window as you would like it to appear in your word-processing application.
  2. Make sure the window you wish to capture is active.
  3. Press the <Alt-Print Screen> keyboard combination. This copies the contents of the currently active window onto the Windows system clipboard. (If you want to capture the entire screen, just press <Print Screen>.)
  4. Make the word-processed document active.
  5. Press the <CTRL-V> keyboard combination (or Edit > Paste) from the menu.
  6. If you wish to crop the images before they are placed in the document, do so in an image processing application such as Photoshop or FastStone Image Viewer (free), then use the word-processor to insert the image from a file.
