well, i'm on "the box" so i may be wrong, but you should just be able to do a screen dump(press the print screen key) and then paste it in to a graphics program. If you have a screenshot utility such as ScreenCap already on your PC there may be a different way, but that is the simplest, and you can also take a screenshot, and then wait till you have finished your session before processing it.

Normally pressing the print screen button will take a screenshot, but for reasons passing understanding Morrowind shipped with this option disabled.

If you go to my computer/c: program files/bethesda/morrowind you'll find a file that is called Morrowind, configuration settings. Open it up and where it says: Screen Shot Enable=0 and change it to Screen Shot Enable=1

Save the file, quit it, and load up MW, now pressing print screen takes a screenshot which can be acessed in the same folder you went to before.

You'll have to go into your MW config file and change the value of

Screen Shot Enable=0

to

Screen Shot Enable=1

I'd advise making a backup of the file first as you can really mess the game up altering something accidentally. It's just a simple notepad file found in your Morrowind directory.

Once it's enable, you can snap a screen by using the print screen button and paste it into a program such as paint like giles says.
:D

Well. I was close. Anyone got any ideas as to WHY screenshots are disabled by default???
