How to Screen Grab a Web Page

Screen grabbing a Web page involves only a few steps and takes less than a minute.

Screen grabbing, also known as taking a "screenshot," is the act of taking a photo of a certain Web page. Screen grabbing a Web page may help you remember pertinent information or capture evidence of certain events or images. It's important to know how to take a screen shot--if you need to record information on a page, you're able to do it instantaneously and don't have to copy and paste or manually record the information.

Instructions

1. Open the Web page you want to screen grab with an Internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.

2. Hold down "Alt" then press "Print Screen." This captures the image of the Web page you have open.

3. Open another image or text document program such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Paint, Photoshop, Open Office or WordPad. Start a new document. Select "File," then "Paste." Your screen grab, or "screenshot," appears in the document.
