Cut and Paste Full screen for demonstration purpose in ppt

[Pete]

Dear all.

I have been trying to do a screen dump, with cut and paste, in ppt to shop
students what menu bar will drop once I have opened it but I cant seem to
copy the entire screen. I want to copy it over to a ppt presentation does
anyone know how?

Regards

Pres PrtScn to capture the whole screen to the clipboard, or Alt+PrtScn to
capture any open window to the clipboard, then in PowerPoint, use the Paste
Special to dump your capture

Did you try the Print Screen key while the menu was showing?

You can't capture a menu with Alt+PrtScn. Alt will cancel the menu.
