HOW TO OPEN AND EDIT PHOTOS ON A CHROMEBOOK:

TAKING A SCREENSHOT ON A CHROMEBOOK:

The key to taking screenshots is the "Show all your open windows" button, which looks like a box with two lines to the right side of it. It'll be in the top row of your keyboard, and may also be labeled as F5.

Here's how to use that button to take screenshots in two ways.

• To take a screenshot of the entire screen: Press the Ctrl key and the "Show all open windows" button at the same time.

• To take a screenshot of a part of the screen: Press the Shift and Ctrl keys, as well as the "Show all open windows" button, then use your cursor to click and drag a box around the area you want to screenshot.
