The full screenshot is necessary in many cases,
- Such as you want to show an error coming on your screen to your tech person.

On your keyboard, there must be a button named “prt sc”.
When you are ready to take a screengrab of the screen, just press that button.

Now if you want to send that image to your tech person or anyone else via email, then go to your email agent and open the new e-mail,
click on the mail application where you want to paste the image, and press CTRL+V buttons at the same time.
The system will paste the screengrab you have taken a few seconds ago.
Please note, the system will remember that screengrab as long as your system is on and you do not copy anything after taking the screengrab.
You can paste this screenshot on any mail, or Windows Paint, Windows Excel, Windows PowerPoint, and windows word
