Screw all that, I use PrintKey 2000 v5.10. it is a very cool print key program.

If I want a full page or part of a page or anything less I use Capture Express 2000 the paid version.
If those two don't cover it you are just to geeky.

If you want to insert one window only in let's say a word document, then you go to the window you want to insert the image of, hold the "Alt" key down when you press the "print screen" key. Then you go to word, and simply insert the image by pressing "shift"+"insert" or "Ctrl"+"V". You can usually insert the image the same way in most images that works in windows.
