Printscreen key, open paint, paste and save. I think it defaults to a bmp though so change to a jpg or everyone you send it to will hate you.....
People used to send 4-5MB bmps to the company email list and you could hear the groans around the office as people recieved it and tried to open it before looking at the size.

Better yet, use .PNG for screen dumps - reserve .JPEG for colour photographs.People used to send 4-5MB bmps to the company email list and you could hear the groans around the office as people recieved it and tried to open it before looking at the size.
The PrintScreen key is the one just to the right of F12 on the keyboard attached to the PC we both assumed you were using... For the Mac, you can try one of the following:
Cmd+Shift+3
Fn+F11
Option+F11
If none of those work, and you don't mind having an extra window appear in your screengrab, then go into the Programs->Accessories->Acessibility section of the start menu, run the On-Screen Keyboard app, make sure it's set to "Enhanced Keyboard" under the Keyboard menu, then click the "psc" button...
...or, as a slightly tongue-in-cheek nod to the "buy a Mac" "advice" dished out by some of the more annoyingly smug holier-than-thou Mac users out there when a PC user asks for help, you could just buy a PC instead ;-)
