TooStrong,

 

Upload the screenshot saved in MSPaint or MSWord to any of the image sharing Web sites like photobucket.com or imageshack.us. Get the link to the particular image.  When you are posting in this forum, click the tree icon "Insert/edit image"(3rd from the Smiley icon in the Editor), delete the already-provided http:// and then paste the direct link from Web site in the "Image URL" rectangle. Click Insert.

How Do I save it to MSword or MSpaint first?

Hi,

 

Try these steps to take screenshot:

 

1. When the window for which you need screenshot appears, press Print Screen.

2. Open Microsoft Paint. To do this, click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint. Click inside the white part of the screen.

3. Go to the Edit menu and click Paste or you can press Ctrl + V.

4. Click File > Save As. In the box that pops up, change the "Save As Type" to PNG or JPG. Type in a filename for your image. Choose a place to save, like the Desktop, and click Save.

 

You can do the same in Microsoft Word and save the screenshot in JPG or DOC format.

I couldn't have said it better.

 

But why do you want to post a screenshot? What problems do you have?

Using  the program I suggested is the easiest thing to do and its free.

To Stu, I am not having any problems, I frequently see screenshots of NIS security history screens in this forum. I don't know how to save screenshots, so I thought I better find out the answer before I have to use it in the future. thanks

To Zana, Yes I am running Vista and I have the snipping tool. I will read up on it. thanks

Hi TooStrong :smileyhappy:

 

 

Forgot To Mention!

 

When you've finished making your pic :smileyhappy:

All you need to do is..

1/ Click On - File

2/ Click On - Save As

3/ Type in a name for your Pic

4/ Click On - Save

 

Note!

The picture should be automatically saved for you .. As the correct type ( e.g JPG )

And the picture should be automatically saved for you .. In your  - Pictures Folder

 

 

Then you just need to upload your Pics to something like Photobucket

So you can post them here :smileywink:
