Here is the answer, straight from uesp site:
In order to enable the taking of screenshots within the game, you will have to open up the Morrowind.INI file with any text editor, and change the line:
Screen Shot Enable=0
to
Screen Shot Enable=1
Then, once in the game, simply press the Print Screen key to save a BMP file in the Morrowind directory. Screenshots are not overwritten between game sessions.

If you have a Windows system - you have Notepad.

Start | programs | accessories | notepad.
Be carefull with this file - if you make a mistake and save, you could screw up your game BIGTIME.
Best bet is to
1. right-click once on the morrowind.ini and from the submenu left-click once on 'copy'
2. go up to the buttom bar and punch 'paste' (this will create a 'copy of morrowind.ini').
3. left-click once on the 'copy of morrowind.ini', punch <F2> (which will allow editing of the filename and change the name to 'morrowind.ini.old'
4. now you can mess with the .ini file to your heart's content.
