If you ever need to copy something that appears on your screen, such as an error message or a section of a document to be emailed to another party, Windows makes this an easy task. Here's how:

Once you have the item that you would like to copy on your screen, press the Print Screen (prt scr) key on your keyboard. This key is right next to your F12 key on a standard keyboard. You have now captured the image and it is ready to be pasted into a picture editor. In this tip we will use Paint to edit this image. Here's how:

1. Go to Start>> All Programs>> Accessories>> Paint.
2. Go to Edit>> Paste. This will paste your captured image into the picture palette area.
3. Using the rectangular shaped (Select) tool from the left menu, you can select a rectangular area around the particular message that you would like to copy (see Figure #1).
4. With the area selected, go to Edit>> Copy.
5. Next, go to File>> New. Choose not to save the changes to the old palette. A new palette will now be created.
6. Now, go to Edit>> Paste. The selected area of your first palette is now in the new palette (see Figure #2).
7. Go to File>> Save as... Name the file whatever you would like and save it to a location that can be easily found later (such as your desktop).
8. Create a new email message and save this new image as either a picture to be inserted into the body of your email or as an attachment to your email.
