there's an easier method, although you went about it properly as far as windows screenies go
hit print screen
go to C:>program files>city of heroes>screenshots

If you look in the menus you can assign a key to take screenshots, or do as the last poster suggested, mind you, I find them to be a little dark.

It also might help if you actually pasted into a real graphics editor instead of Word. There's always Paint (ugh!), but a better one is better. As noted, they come out a little dark so they might need some lightening up. I recommend GIMP because it's free, but it's got a bit of a learning curve if you're not all that familiar with graphics editors.
Dec out.
I always suggest anyone interesting in taking screenshots check out this article on the Paragon Wiki:
Screenshots
Lots of really good tips in there.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
If you want screenshots without HUD, just type in /screenshot.
