Newbie has a question

[Kovarr]

Hi! I've just started playing WoW and I really enjoy it. However, I'm not very tech-savvy. I've searched all the forums looking for an answer to a single question, but I can't find it anywhere, so I'm going to ask it here, and hope no one explodes at me because it's PROBABLY in the wrong place, but here goes:

How the heck do you take a screenshot?

Yes, I know if I don't even know how to do that I probably shouldn't even be playing (as one nice guy I asked online replied), but there you go....we tech-challenged people have a right to fun too!

Someone told me it was the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard, but if it is it's not working, or else I can't find wherever the screenshots are being put.

Help?

Anyone?

indeed it is the print screen button . To make sure while in game press escape go to the keybind menu and scroll down looking for the screenshot and make sure it is bound to print screen . If u do not like the print screen button doing it rebind it to something u like better . Screenshots are put in a folder in your main wow folder . like (drive Letter (Hard Drive) (were u installed wow to on your pc )Program files/ world of warcraft/ then look for the screenshot folder .

However this doesn't apply to mac so if you are using a mac keyboard you have to do the combination click of alt+shift+4 (i think) to get a screenshot and it will be saved to your desktop by default.

Or type /script Screenshot()

Mac screenshot hotkey is Shift-Command-3.
