On my Mac I highlight what I want to take a copy of and press Alt, Ctrl and P and then paste it onto a word document.

HTH

I have a print screen button on the top row of my keyboard, next to the F keys. So I press that and then insert it where I want it and crop.

Hang on - just experimenting for you now.

BelligerentGhoul · 22/10/2010 20:06

It works for me!

I'm such a luddite.

Never mind, the thing has stopped happening now anyway, so no panic.

Thankyou for your help Smile

No problem. Since I have been known to call myself JaneiteLuddite on here, I think it's hilarious that I was even able to try and help you! :)

Frrrrightattendant · 22/10/2010 20:21

Oh are you Janeite? I recognise you now! Smile
