1. in general:
you can hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard (likely found to the right of the F12 key). This will take a screenshot of what's on your screen and put it in the clipboard. Then open your favorite graphics editing program and you should be able to paste it into a new file...

2. Try one of these:
Here you go:

One way is to... right click on it, then choose copy.

Or, Alt + PrtScn (Print Screen). That puts a screen shot on your clipboard and you can paste it anywhere you want to.

Good luck!

;-)

4. What operating system do you have?
If you have Windows:

1) Go to the page and maximize the screen.

2) Press the 'Print Screen' key on the top right of your keyboard. This puts the image in memory like when you cut or copy text.

3) Open an image editor. Windows Paint works fine. Click Edit>Paste and the image comes up as a file in your image editor.

4) Save the image. Usually File>Save and put it in whatever file you want.

6. THAT actually worked
I'm using XP pro. It is now successfully saved to my hd. Thanks for the lesson! I'm sure I will use this little bit of knowledge more than just today.

7. another way to do it is to "save as"
. . . then you've got the whole page with working scroll bar and links. A folder with all the pieces of the page--.jpg and .gif files, for example--will also be saved.
