Thanks

The easiest way is to use a screen capture program (there are several freeware/shareware versions) that you run in background when playing the game. The Screen Captures are triggered by selecting some macro-combination of keys to take the snap.

Otherwise you can just use the Print Screen button. This makes a bitmap version of your entire screen that you can then paste (Cntrl+V) into Word or any other program capable of displaying a bitmap graphic.

Word of warning however, I often experience some very strange repainting of my UV screen when I flips back/forth from UV to other applications. Be sure you save your game prior to jumping out of UV, you may not be able to find the save button when you come back due to the repaint error.
