Screen print
 

Very basic question but I'm a novice--when I hit Alt-Screen Print so I can
print the contents of an open window nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

It copys it to the clipboard. You can paste into Word, or Photoshop or any
other program. It still works in Vista. I've used that and the new snipping
tool quite a bit for screenshots.

Re: Screen print
 

Just as a heads-up, Alt+PrintScreen only captures the active window.
PrintScreen captures the whole screen.

You can also use the Snipping Tool in Vista to capture screens. But nothing
every prints until you actually print it.
