Screenshot/Print Screen

When making screenshots of items on your screen, this method keeps files sizes small.

1.       Make the screenshot of what you need by pressing the PrntScrn key on your keyboard.

2.       Open MS Paint and hit CTRL V (CTRL V = paste)

3.       Drag your mouse to make a rectangle around what you want to keep

4.       Press CTRL X to cut that portion out to your clipboard (CTRL X = cut)

5.       Choose FILE, NEW (no you don’t save the old stuff)

6.       Press CTRL V to paste what’s on your clipboard to the canvas

7.       Save as a .gif (unless it distorts, then repeat step 6)

When making a list of multiple screenshots, insert them into a word doc as .gifs and stretch them to be smaller in the word doc as long as you can still read them.
