Yes, it's an attachment.

I'm still running Windows 7 and don't know squat about Windows 10.
First I hit the "Print Screen" on my keyboard.

Then I open MS Paint which has come automatically on all Windows PC's since Christ was a Corporal.
Next I hit Ctrl-V to paste the saved image into Paint
Next I click on "Crop"
Next I position my cursor on the upper left corner of the image I want to cut out of the page and press and hold my left mouse button.
Next I drag the cursor so it outlines the image I want to save and once I get it outlined to my satisfaction, I release the mouse button.
Next I click on "Crop" again to execute the action.
Next I click on the blue block in the upper left corner
Save.jpg
Next I choose "Save As" , then choose "Jpeg" and save it to a folder in my Windows Explorer
Ta Da ---- I hope that's clear. Let me know if it isn't.
