[WEB4LIB] Screen captures

[Donna Schumann]

Cathy, if you press PrintScreen (instead of Alt-Print Screen) you will
capture the entire screen to the clipboard. 

Open Word, open or create the document you want to put the image in, and
click on the Paste icon. Your screen image will display properly.

HTH, Donna
