Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words - sending a screenshot instead of describing an error is both faster and often more meaningful.
To take a screenshot
- current window only: alt-printscreen
- on the labtops that means alt-fn-(button that has printscreen or prtscrn or so on it in blue)
- whole screen: printscreen
- on the labtops that means fn-(button that has printscreen or prtscrn or so on it in blue)
This stores a picture of the screen as if you had "cut" it.
Start an email in Outlook (doesn't work in webaccess), paste the picture right into the email (can't be set to plain text, must be rich text or HTML), and send it. (in the past a lot of people have pasted the screen shots into other documents and attached those, this is not necessary any longer. )
