can anybody help me?

I want to make print of the screen on windows and make amendments to the print in fireworks afterwards.

but I can't find the place, were windows is saving the printed screen??? windows help was not helpful

From what I know, windows does not save the printed screen, you have to click "print screen" And then go onto "paint" or another program and left click, or click edit, and then click paste. Print screen does not actually PRINT the screen shown, it sort of copies it so you can paste it onto another program and save it as a file.

Yeah I dont think it gets saved, its just like doing a copy and paste thing....

Print screen only adds your image to the clip board, then you paste it into a program (Photoshop, Paint etc). You can get programs which save the image for you, and you can choose where you'd like it to be saved.

I have this one:

I use paint shop pro... its a lot cheaper than any others and better than most. Pressing print screen, going into paint/whatever and pressing ctrl+v works every time

mickey

this is what I found out with windows help, but it doesn't work! neither with ctrl+v nor via the menu, edit, paste (shows inactive!)!

can I access the content of the clipboard in order to see which end the problem is, might be the keyboard as well!

I can just see, when I press print screen the cursor blinks, what usually indicates it worked, isn't it?

sorry, 'bout all those stupid questions, but I used to work on MacOs in the past!
