I recently had someone email me with a question about one of the Weekly Tips.\u00a0 Helpfully, they included a screenshot so I could see what they were talking about.\u00a0 I noticed the edge of the image on their montior was missing so they likely used the Snipping Tool to grab the screenshot.<\/p>\n

If you want to insert a screenshot in an email or an MS Office file, there\u2019s a better way.<\/p>\n

In Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint you can insert a screenshot directly into your document:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On the Insert <\/em>tab in the Illustrations <\/em>group, click on the Screenshot <\/em>button<\/li>\n
  2. In the Available Windows<\/em> window, select the window you want to insert
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n

    If you don\u2019t want to include the full window, insert it and then use the Crop tool on the Picture Tools tab to hide the portion you don\u2019t want.\u00a0 Alternatively, use the Screen Clipping button at the bottom of the Available Windows window.\u00a0 This opens the Snipping Tool so you can select which part of the visible windows you want to include in your file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
