Print Screen doesn't work on my Toshiba laptop?

Question

I want to use the print screen function on my Toshiba A100 laptop (XP media edition) and then paste into Word. The usual key combination (shift +prtscr or alt + prtscr) doesn't work although it works on my wife's computer. I think the Toshiba uses a different key combination to do this. I did find it once by accident, but didn't write it down. I've tried lots of key combinations but can't find the right one.
Thanks

The use of the Prnt Scrn button on the keyboard is one of the oldest tricks in Windows though many CAD users still don't know about it since they have never needed to worry about raster images. When you hit the Prnt Scrn button on your keyboard, the entire screen area is captured and stored on the Windows Clipboard. In the past, the Clipboard application was installed by default but most people don't use it anymore and thus the application is no longer installed by default. There really is no need to have it as an application since its primary function is to serve as a cache for transferring items from one application to another. Though you may not know it, you use the Clipboard every time you do a Cut and Paste procedure and that is why you can copy AutoCAD or Architectural Objects and Paste them into Word, for example.



I find that many of the Shademodes produce an image that is actually good enough for client presentations since they can be quite simple and almost cartoon like. Unfortunately, there is no way to output or save Shaded Views so this is a case where the Prnt Scrn can come as a handy tool. Once you have captured your screen, you will need to Paste that image into some program that can receive it. I prefer to Paste these screen captures into Photoshop where I can Crop them and make other minor modifications so they look more presentable. I also use this trick to create rapid presentation images for client websites since Photoshop has fantastic tools for saving to web formats.



TIP:

If you use Photoshop, start a New File immediately after using the Prnt Scrn key and it will automatically be sized to the screen. Use the Paste command or Ctrl + V keys to import the screen capture from the clipboard.



If using the Prnt Scrn in Model Space, set the AutoCAD background Color to White before doing Prnt Scrn so you don't have a large area of black printed. See Options dialog, Display tab, Colors... button and "Model tab background".







If this doesn't solve it, ask Toshiba ot read the manual they supplied with the laptop

carry down the FN key and press print exhibit screen. additionally in case you basically desire portion of the exhibit screen and not the entire element you should use the Snipping device. Its below start up, all classes, upload-ons, snipping device. you may in basic terms click and drag the device and it saves a percentof in spite of you chosen.
