There's also a free add-on to the Chrome browser called "Screen Capture" that gives several options on what to save.

I used to do that before I discovered the snipping tool (on Windows 7 and Vista) I have the shortcut on my task bar and I click on it, put a box around what I want to keep and save. Easy peasy!

It could be hidden in "Accessories". It is part of the Windows Vista package. It took me a while to find it on my old laptop.

On my computer when I press Alt+PrtScr, the entire page will automatically be sent to my printer and be printed out. I don't always want that. The newer computers make it easier to select a portion of a page to print (snipping). But even older computer like mine that has XP, you can Select/PrintSelection and just print part of the page. Sometimes I have to fiddle a little to just select only the part I want, but it works.

Some websites have more sophisticated protection against people copying what they post. I bought a program called...are you ready for this?..."Printscreen" that lets me copy things that are supposedly blocked or won't let me "Select". Printscreen lets me draw a box like you do in snipping. However, in the past year, I've come across two or three sites that I have been totally unable to print from.

Also, sometimes I don't want to print but want to save the picture or whatever. So I Select/File/SaveAs and save it into a folder just as you would anything else. Saves on printer ink.
