I use the Snipping Tool. Which saves as a PNG file.

Above the numeric keypad you will see a button labelled "Print Screen".
This will capture the whole of the current screen which can be pasted into a graphics app of your choice for editing. I use IrfanView (free).

You can do much the same with Android devices, smart phones and pads.

I've never tried doing that ..

but would it be possible to highlight, copy and paste into a Word document, then print that off?

I often print photos by using the CTRL + C command, then CTRL + V to paste it into a word document.
