One use for the feature:
Say I wanted to print a picture of an enlarged picture from this thread without printing everything else in the thread
Green and black 9-patch lap or baby quilt top -
which is a quilt top I made without a pattern.
I can take a screen shot of just the area I want - and not have to guess at which page to print or what size I need to reduce it to so I can get the whole picture to print on one page.
One can also use the feature for capturing unwanted ads to show admin on this board - if one happens to see one .
I think one can look for "how to take a screen shot" and instructions will come up for your operating system if it has the capability.
I was trying to report a problem on here once upon a time to patricej and she asked "can you take a screen shot?" I did not know what it was - much less how to do that.

Asked because I tried to email something and it had to be a jpeg or some other types to send in an email. I took a photo of the document and then sized it down and sent via email, that worked.
Guess I should just do a test following the instructions and use a printed page to see what happens.

Ubequilting, go to YouTube, put in "how to do a screenshot on_____ " put whatever device you want to do this on in the blank: such as iPhone 7 plus, or the name of your android phone if that is what you have, or a PC with Windows 10 or whatever operating system your computer or laptop has, or iPad etc. You can find out how to do many things on YouTube!

I actually did it! ! ! I pressed the key with the four patch on it - between the Ctrl and Alt keys, when I had the wanted view up on the computer. Then I clicked on Snipping tool. Then, at the top left corner of wanted text, clicked and dragged to get the red line around what I wanted. Then I clicked on the red X to delete and it asked if I wanted to save it or not. I said "Save", and now when I went to my picture folders, there it is! ! ! Whoooo Hooooo! ! !
