Press the key or keys. You will not receive any indication the screenshot has been taken and in order to see it, you will have to paste it into your word document. Open Word and press the Ctrl and the V keys. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8, you have a program called Snipping Tool that can be used to either save your snip as a picture (jpg) or simply paste into your word document (use paste or the Ctrl and the V keys).
