Taking a Screenshot with Mac OS 9.2

A screenshot is simply a “picture” of what you are looking at on your computer screen. Follow the instructions below for creating a screenshot.

1. Open a document or page that you want for your screenshot. (For example, you might have Internet Explorer open with the page that shows your scores of an online quiz you just took which your teacher wants to see.)

2. Press and hold these three keys: shift + Apple + 4. When you let go of those keys, you will see your cursor turn into a "+."

3. Move your cursor (+) to any corner of the picture/document you want to copy. Click and hold your mouse button and move the cursor across the picture until the dotted box is surrounding the part of the page you want to copy. You will hear a click like the sound of a camera. Your image will appear in the Macintosh HD (upper right corner of your computer desktop).

4. Open a new email message, Word or PowerPoint document where you want to insert your screenshot.

5. Look in the Macintosh HD to find your screenshot. It should be called "picture 1, picture 2, etc."

6.
Drag the image into your email message and send, or drag it into a Word or PowerPoint document and click save.
