Common knowledge on using the Print Screen (at least for me) is that you just press the Print Screen key and paste whatever it is shown on your screen to a graphics editor like Paint, right? This suits you if you intend to print screen the entire screen. But what if you only want to print screen one window? There is a way!
Let me demonstrate:
Step 1 : Activate the desired window to print screen. For this purpose, I made the calculator window active.
Step 2 : Press Alt + Print Screen key. Here's how it looks like in my screen:
Voila! Only the calculator window was pasted.
By the way, this works on Windows and on Linux. Thanks to Borgy for sharing this! :)

See if you had a Mac... You can just select windows to capture! :D Haha!
I'm poor, can't afford a Mac. :( I'm using Linux Mint 7, it's like a Mac-substitute! :D
Open the window you will copy and press ALT + Prt Scr
