PrintScreen certainly allows you to capture everything that you can see on your monitor and places an image of the complete screen on the clipboard from where you can easily paste it into program such as Microsoft Paint and save from that program
or any other program such as Microsoft Word or Wordpad
But you get the whole screen so if you only want a small portion then you...
　

...then you just press down the CTRL + ALT keys as you hit the Print Screen button


on Mac it's a bit different but it's still a cinch to capture either the full screen or just the active window (without having to buy or download any redundant software)


agreed, John... screen captures are handy... I realized long ago that most folks would rather learn "how to" do something by viewing a video or looking at screen shot images rather than reading thousands of characters of dry text
