I run multiple screen sessions each created with 'screen -S name' and I would like to be able to display in the status bar the name I used to create the current screen session. However, I cannot seem to accomplish this. Press firmly the ⎙ Print Screen key. You should see your computer's screen dim for a brief moment. At this point, you can release the 'Print Screen' key and the Windows key. If the screen doesn't dim, try using the Fn key if you didn't, or don't use it if you did. To print the current page only, follow these steps: Choose Print from the File menu. You will see the Print dialog box. (See Figure 1.).
OK I should have read more. :)
On Page 3 there is a more fulsome macro which worked for me.

It's the one posted by Matt Reid on May 1. It's a similar but much longer macro.
Here's the code:
Sub PleasePrintCurrentPage()
Dim CurPg As Long
Dim strCP As String
If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView
Else
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
End If
If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
Else
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
End If
CurPg = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=CurPg, Name:='
strCP = 'p' & Selection.Information(wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber) & _
's' & Selection.Information(wdActiveEndSectionNumber)
With Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint)
.Range = wdPrintRangeOfPages
.Pages = strCP
.Execute
End With
End Sub
People taking screenshots of screen for sorts of reasons. Some for collecting materials to insert into documents, some for sharing what they see on screen with others.

dotTech has reviewed the best free screenshot programs for Windows. However, screenshot programs aren't for everyone and some people like to stick with the ole fashion Print Screen -> paste in Microsoft Paint method. The issue with tapping Print Screen to take a screenshot is it takes a screenshot of your whole screen. Sometimes this is desirable while other times it is not. The good news is Windows has the ability to take a screenshot of just your active window or program, too — so you don't have to be forced to take a snapshot of your whole screen. This article shows you how to do just that
Before you learn a trick on how to take a screenshot of the active window, it is a good idea to actually know what ‘active window' means.
It is actually pretty simple. ‘Active window' is simply the window or program that you are currently in — the window or program that you are actively using. For example, let's say you have three windows open — Firefox, Internet Explorer, and My Documents. Then let's say you are currently using Firefox. The active window, therefore, is Firefox. If you switch to Internet Explorer and start using it, Internet Explorer becomes the active window. Same holds true for My Documents or any other window or program that you have open.
As already mentioned, tapping Print Screen (or PRT SC, as some keyboards call it) takes a screenshot of your whole screen. If you want to take a screenshot of your active window only, you need to hold ALT while pressing Print Screen. In other words, pressing ALT + Print Screen takes a screenshot of only the active window.
Once you press ALT + Print Screen, a screenshot of the active window is copied to Windows Clipboard; you need to open up your favorite image editor (e.g. Microsoft Paint), paste the screenshot, and save it — just like you would do if you used just Print Screen.
People that use screenshot tools have no issue capturing active window only. However, people that prefer to stick to Print Screen will definitely enjoy the added capability of active window only. Enjoy!
