A picture of your screen can be very helpful for technical support or illustrating a document you are writing.  In Windows, you need no special software to do make a screen shot. Here's how.

• LOGic 8 has built-in screen capture. See Help in LOGic 8.

To use Windows built-in screen capture:

• Press the PrintScreen button
  

• Run Paint.  It is in Start Menu/Programs/Accessories  (If it is not there, add it by running Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel. Select Windows Setup).  Go to the edit menu and select Paste. You will be asked if you want to enlarge the bitmap.  Answer Yes.
  

• You now have a picture of your screen in Paint.  You may print it or save it to disk.
  

• When saving to disk, choose GIF or JPEG format if those options are available on your system.  These formats are compressed and save a lot of disk space and a lot of time when emailing!
