3)'Print Screen' will take a'picture' of the whole
Desktop and whatever is upon it - ALT+Print Screen will
take a 'picture' of the currently open window only
These 'pictures' are in effect Copied to the Clipboard
and you can then Paste into any Program which will
display Images ie not Notepad
If you want to Copy a Page of Text from one Program to
another then you just Edit\Select All\Copy and then Paste
You can't "Print Screen a window .." into a Program like
Word directly but you can Run the Paint Program and then
Edit\Paste then Save As .jpg - then Insert\Picture\From
File
Not quite sure what you're wanting to do
