1. Make sure the graphic you want is visible on your monitor screen.

2. Locate and press your PRINTSCREEN KEY on your PC's keyboard. (It's usually located near the upper right by the scroll lock). This copies the entire screen to the Window's invisible "clipboard."

3. Open up Windows Paint or any Wordprocessing Program.

4. Click EDIT then PASTE from that program's taskbar menu. ....and there you have the graphic!

5. To crop out unwanted portions of your "screen capture" look for either the "dotted line box" icon among the Windows Paint tools or double click the image in your wordprocessor.

Windows Paint's "dotted line box" tool allows you to click the graphic and then drag the dotted box across the image to where you want it. Then select "copy" from your EDIT menu. This copies the area you just dragged with your box tool. Open up a NEW document/image screen and select Edit/Paste to paste the cropped image. From there you can also add TEXT using the Windows Paint text tool. Use the eraser to erase section of the graphic too.

Your wordprocessing software will pull up image tools. Click and drag the corners of the image box to resize. (Experiment and get the hang of it...it's too easy for me to offer a detailed description here!)

With a little practice you'll be making great program worksheets in no time.

fyi....it is perfectly legal to copy program graphics for use in materials that enhance the program's educational useability. You may not use the graphics to populate a website or newsletter, except where the graphics are announcing use of the program from whence they came. The program graphics are the property of the developer and any use unrelated to the software itself is a violation of the law.
