    Guys,
    I'm trying to include a screen shot from a website in a Powerpoint presentation. Anyone know how to import the page/screenshot?

    To take a screenshot...Hit the Print Screen button (top, right of your keyboard), with what you want included in the screenshot. Then, open Microsoft Paint up and go to Edit>Paste. Save the file. Under Filetype, select JPEG. Save the file where you wish...

    Then In PowerPoint, just go to Insert>Picture>From File

    Hitting "print screen" copies your screen to the clipboard, so all you have to do is go into powerpoint and hit ctrl-v and it'll paste it in. From there, just grab the crop tool and cut out all the bs you don't want. Not the best for managing file size, but surely the most direct route.

    ALT-PrintScreen will take a screenshot of JUST the "active" window... That's probably what you're going for. As pointed out above, can then be directly pasted into PowerPoint.

    Thanks guys. Print screen worked. I didn't realize when you hit print screen it put it on the clipboard.
