the clip board is the place that item go to when you click copy or patse (you will often do this using a word editing package or something similar). After you have pressed print screen button, sometimes it looks like a button saying PrtSc, you can access the screen shots by going to a image package (MSPAINT for example) and selecting Edit -> Paste (or pressing Ctrl + V)

try to hold Alt and then press PrintScreen, this will result in copying on the active window that is being displayed.
and then paste it normally on mspaint, or ant other image or word editor.

Lol, I just tried that, and the words "Microsoft PowerPoint" cam up in green letters on my screen.
