Is there any way to get Corel Photo-Paint 7 to use its clipboard to bring up the latest screenshot using just the Print Screen button on the keyboard rather than illegible text of something that I apparently copied earlier before? I had somehow been able to do it for years on my old HP PC (Windows 7), but ever since I got a new Dell PC (Windows 10) on June 21st, whenever I just hit the Print Screen on my keyboard to make a screenshot, all I get on my clipboard in CPP7 is some illegible text rather than the latest screenshot (image). This has been maddeningly frustrating for me, so someone, anyone PLEASE HELP - I would appreciate it tremendously. THANKS very much.
As an alternative, you could try using Greenshot for taking screenshots and putting them on the Clipboard.
I tried with PhotoPAINT X7 under Windows 10, and it seems to works fine
Thanks very much for all the suggestions, but I finally found a screenshot tutorial on YouTube that describes what everyone else, even some experts, apparently fails to do. That is, on some systems, or at least on some keyboards, there is an additional key or keys that need to be held down before pressing the Print Screen button. On my particular keyboard/system, it's the Function key - Fn. As long as I hold down the Fn key first, I'm now able to use the Print Screen button just as I did for years on my old HP PC on Windows 7 to copy to Corel Photo-Paint's clipboard. Anyway, thanks very much again.
Alt + Print Screen for the app window.
Don't know how anyone can live without a clipboard manager. I'm using Ditto but there are others that are not free with perhaps more features.
At least then you can copy copy copy > paste and have both a clipboard history and see what is in that mysterious place.
Absolutely essential as far as I'm concerned. It's been developed over 10 years so it is very stable.

You can add further types of support. Just copy, in this case from Draw and add those types. Not that this is necessary but you can do it.
