Answer #1

Control-print screen will take a screen capture and save it to your clipboard. From there, you can paste it into any other program.

Answer #2

Alternative if you have Vista or Win7

Use the snipping tool if you don’t need full window/screen captures:

Also, just pressing the ‘Print Screen’ button will capture the entire screen to your clipboard, pressing ALT-Print Screen captures only the current window to your clipboard.
