I'm in the process of adding another language to my
keyboard capability. Now I'm trying to print the virtual
keyboard for that language, but having no luck. After I
display the keyboard I want, the instructions say: "Press
ALT+ Print Screen". This supposedly copies the image to
the Clipboard, but when I go to the Clipboard in Word, I
find that it is empty. I've tried this several times with
no luck. I have Windows XP Home Edition. Help!

Find yourself a REALLY GOOD screen capture utility like Snagit.

Snagit is cheap and they have a demo period I believe so you can solve
THIS problem and determine if you want to buy it.

Are you perhaps on a laptop that requires and extra key (blue key?) for
using the PrintScreen key?

BTW, what virtual keyboard are you trying to print? (I found the Arabic
keyboard layout on Microsoft's web site.)

In the meantime, do your "print screen"; open MS Paint; create new and paste
it in. You can then save as bmp and print it or insert it into another
document.
