Why doesn't the prescribed procedure of shift+command+4 produce a screenshot on my MacBook Pro mid 2012 with IS X 10.15.6 work?
If it does, where do I find the screenshots to save them to my documents for forwarding to a third party?

Shift-command-4 takes a selection chosen by dragging the mouse - if you don't do this nothing will happen. Shift-commamd-3 takes a snapshot of the entire screen.
Try this, press command shift 5, then while opened, press command shift 3 to take a screen shot of your entire screen and post it using the "Image insertion" icon. It's hard to understand what you are seeing.
Press "command shift 5" and check which options are selected.
The screenshots should be saved on your desktop by default.
Are you using DropBox? I have seen posts that indicate it hijacks the screenshot location.
Sorry, Roger Wilmut1 and anonymous4321,
This what I meant when I said that the prescribed actions didn't work. Nothing happened with either action: the cursor didn't appear to select the section I wanted to take, nor did anything appear on the desktop indicating a screenshot. It was as if the keys were disabled.
Thanks for trying.
That showed the fifth option from the right was selected and a section of the screen was marked out. What happens now, please? How do I proceed to take a screenshot?
None of this worked for me and I wonder why. Can anyone please enlighten me as to how I can take a complete screenshot on my mid-2012 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.15.6?
