How to Copy & Paste or Save dialog windows?

Suppose you open the Control Panel and double-click the Internet Options;
a dialog opens called Internet Properties.

  • My query is whether is possible to Copy & Paste this dialog in a text file, say Word.
  • Or Save it in some way as a picture and print it.

This is just an example, i hope there are ways to do the above actions with all kinds of dialogs or message windows.

You can use Print Screen or Alt+ Print screen (for the selected window) which copies the image to the clipboard. Then open your graphics program or MS Paint and paste the image then save it as a .jpeg

Sorry, press and hold the Alt key while hitting the Print Screen key at the same time.

I don't think you even need to hit Alt, just hit Print Screen.

Print Screen will copy the entire screen

Alt + Print Screen will copy the selected window.
