How do I take a screenshot of offensive content? A screenshot is a like a photograph of your screen. It captures everything that you can see on your screen at the press of a key and is useful for recording details you might want to report. Have the information you wish to record open on your screen and press the PrintScn / SysRq key on your keyboard. The image is now saved in a temporary memory. Open a new Word document, right click your mouse and select Paste to insert the screenshot.* Make a note of the date, location, e-mail address, name (nickname or real name) and any other information which you think might be useful and then Save the file. * The screenshot can be inserted into any program that accepts images.
