SAVING THE PAINT FILE
9) NOTE: You can optional SAVE a copy of this image (with or without printing it):
FILE
SAVE AS
Select your location (Save in:)
Select your file name (File name:)
Select your file TYPE (Save as type) - usually you want JPEG
Notes
NOTE: You can view the PAINT HELP information.
Paint does have a rather large Border, cutting down the amount of data
that can be displayed.
You can use other programs, such as any Graphics program or even (a new
enough version of) WORD instead of Paint in which to capture, print,
and possibly edit your screen image. The Free IrfanView is very good.
