Print Screen function will not paste to email

Windows Mail will not let me paste a screen shot into my email. The same
screen shot will paste into Word. Any ideas?

It wouldn't paste into OE, either, and WinMail is OE's successor.
Paste it into a work or image program and save it. Then attach that file.

Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.

That did it, Thanks. Windows Mail = castrated Outlook.

Paste into word using Edit menu - Paste Special and choose an internet
format (gif, jpeg, etc), Copy from Word and paste into OE. OE was designed
as a pure web thing (and doesn't support window's formats).
