== Capturing a Window's Image ==

Sometimes, the best way to convey a problem or suggestion is by submitting a '''screen capture''' -- an image of an application's window. To do this,

 1. run the application '''MSPaint''', which is provided with Windows

 1. click in the title bar of window whose screen capture you wish to construct

 1. while depressing your keyboard's '''ALT key''', strike your keyboard's '''Print Screen''' key (it might be abbreviated '''Prt Scr''' or similar)

 1. In MSPaint,

   a. activate the '''Edit''' menu's '''Paste''' entry -- you should now see an image of the application window in MSPaint

   a. activate the '''File''' menu's '''Save As''' entry, and save the the image to a file (leave the '''Save as type''' selector at '''24-bit bitmap''')

 1. to convey the screen capture, attach the file you saved in step 4b to an email message to aa6yq@ambersoft.com
