Screen captures

[Cathy Cox]

I've done screen captures before and inserted them into instructional 
handouts and webpages - but only on a Mac.  Now that we've converted to 
PCs, I'm having trouble doing the same thing.

What I'm looking for is the technique for getting a full-screen capture of, 
say, searching our catalog via Netscape, with all the toolbars and so on, 
so that I can show students how to navigate and so on.  I've tried ALT-PRNT 
SCRN, which captures it to the clipboard, but then when I try to open it in 
Word all I get is gibberish.  I'm sure that there's an easy way to do 
this.  Anyone care to enlighten me?
