How to Take a Screenshot

for Mac OS
Methods
There are several different ways to take a screenshot. We recommend one of the
following:

1. Command+Shift+3 to capture the whole screen or Command+Shift+4 to capture a partial


screen.
2. Grab Utility Tool
3. Lightshot Screen Capture
4. If you use the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), many of the programs have a
built in screenshot tool

The following tutorial will introduce you to all of these methods.
