How do I capture an image of a customised shortcut menu to show as an example in a help file

Pressing Print Screen alows you to paste the screen as a bitmap. Not sure if you can just capture a menu, though, so you may have to doctor the image. Alt-Print Screen allows you to capture, for example, a userform only, but pressing Alt with a menu showing will likely close it.

With the shortcut menu on the screen, press Control-Print Screen. This will capture the current display. Paste this image into a graphics program and edit away.
