How To Print Plots

• Under Windows: Click on the title bar of the Plot window to make sure it is the foreground window. By simultaneously pressing the "Ctrl"-"Alt"-"Print Screen" keys (on some machines "Alt"-"Print Screen") you copy the current window into the Clipboard. This can now be pasted in to any program for printing. An easy program to do this from is the Paint program which can be found in the Accessories Menu under the Program Menu under the Start (which is in the lower left corner). Load this program and select Paste from the Edit on the menu bar. This will paste the image into the buffer. You can then print it by selecting Print under the File on the menu bar. You may also find it convenient to use MS Word to paste the Clipboard into a document and then print. The command Paste Special can now be used, it is also under the Edit. It is not a bad idea to select Print Preview to see if the picture fits on one page. If it doesn't you can resize the Plot window and copy the image again. If the image wraps on to the second page but you don't care about the part on the second page, simply print only the first page.
  
  
• On Macintosh: By pressing "Open Apple","shift" and "3" simultaneously the entire screen will be copied into a file. This file can then be loaded in to a paint program for printing. The file is usually on the top directory of the hard drive and named something along the lines of "Picture 1".
