Printing the Patterns

I have a new computer with a new operating system. Always so much fun to learn new things.

You may notice on the left that there are two boxes about printing the patterns. When people used to write and say they had trouble printing the patterns I'd say:

What is the problem!!??.

 You hold down the shift key you select some type and pictures---you do stuff with that selection like print it, or copy it to a word file and print it.

But no-o-o-o. Now that I have Windows 7 I see what the problem is. That doesn't seem to work. It was too simple.

So here's what I've learned. One way to print the pattern if you have Windows 7.

On your keyboard way up at the top there is a key that says

PrtScn

SysRq

Vanna is pointing to the key.

Remember that key.

Open a new Word file and save it with the name CWBOW 8.

Now on your computer screen scroll down until you have framed the block instructions (or as much of them as you can on your screen)

This is the way I framed it.

Then hold down the Alt key on the left of your keyboard at the same time you hold down the PrtScn key.

This creates a screen capture on the clipboard (the desktop memory of your computer). You can't tell that anything has happened but the image above is in the memory.

Go to your new Word File.

Click in the copy area. Click and hold the Control key as you hit the V key (the Paste shortcut).

Again nothing will seem to happen.

My word page looks empty.

But then if I print that file I get the screen capture on paper.

You might have to do two screen captures to get all the information you need.

This should work.

Another option is to learn to use the Select key

But not today.

It's time for a mojito.
