Charles, You do not need to be holding down on WinKey + Shift + S the whole time you are clipping. Just press them together and let go. Try this to get the capture of the clipping. 1. Press WinKey + V to make sure that Windows Clipboard memory is on. Click turn on if it is no 2. Press WinKey + Shift + S to bring up the clipping window, then release the keys. 3. Click and draw your clipping area. *DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUSE BUTTON* 4. Click the Print Screen button with the mouse still clicked. 5. You can now release the mouse button. 6. Go to your document. 7. Press WinKey + V to open our Clipboard. 8. Click on an image in the Clipboard to add it to your document. Hope that helps you.
