If no editing is needed, you can copy the screen image (not limited to pdf) by pressing AltGr and PrintScrn at the same time and paste it to a Word document (Ctrl-V or, right-click and Paste).

You can always use Paint to edit the image and elimate what you don't need along with Microsoft Photo editor...

PDF files are created so that they can not be manipulated.
Short of taking a screen shot and inserting it as a graphic, what you want can not be done. If you do this, it is in your best interest to use a screen capture program instead of Print Screen.

You can use the print screen method. Thtat would probably be the easiest. Just hit print screen on your keyboard, open up Paint, and paste it in. Edit your picture until you have just what you want and save it as a bitmap. From there you can go into your word document and insert from file. If it is overtop the text you need to edit the properties of the picture and turn on to wrap text around the picture.

My pesonal favorite program to use is Peernet. You instal the program on your system; then go to file and print. Once the print box appears look down through the available printers and locate what you just installs. It is a print driver that captures the adobe image into any type of file you want... Jpeg, Tiff, BMP, PCX, and many more. You can save it as a .jpg (to conserve space if you need to toll this on a floppy) and go through the process of inserting it as you would with the bitmap.

I'm sure that there are many other ways of accomplishing this task. Just choose one and run with it. If you get stuck, post again. Good luck!

Sorry people. The formatting stinks when this is done. Do it. You will see that either it looks really bad or the graphic is too big for the page (unless you are capturing a very small area).

That just mean you'll have to buy Adobe Acrobat full version so you can make changes and save...
