Some keyboards or mobile PCs that don't have the PRINT SCREEN button might use other keyboard combinations, such as FN+INSERT, to take a screen capture. Check the information that came with your computer or the manufacturer's website for more information.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/take-a-screen-capture-print-screen

Once you have copied the screen/active window, you just need to go to Word, Outlook, etc. and Paste (CTRL+V)
