If you have ever written procedure for any computer related task, or tried to send an email describing an error message you’ve been getting, you probably wished you could insert a picture of your screen into your document.\u00a0 But if you are using Microsoft Office 2010, you now have a convenient, built-in way to insert a picture of any application window into Word, Excel, Outlook, or PowerPoint.\u00a0 In any of those four applications, click on the Insert tab of the ribbon.\u00a0 In the Illustrations<\/em> section you will see a button labeled Screenshot<\/em>.\u00a0 Click on it and a dropdown menu will show you thumbnail images of all your currently active windows (minimized windows won’t be shown).\u00a0 Click on one to insert is into your document.\u00a0 If you don’t want to insert an entire window, you can click on Screen Clipping<\/em> which is at the bottom of the Screenshots<\/em> menu, just below the thumbnails.\u00a0 When you click on it your current document will automatically minimize, showing you the window that was behind it.\u00a0 (At this point there is no way to change windows, so you’ll have to plan ahead)\u00a0 Then the screen will “frost”, as Microsoft calls it, and you can click and drag to select the desired portion of the window.\u00a0 When you release the mouse button, the area you have selected will be inserted into your document.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t using Office 2010, you can still capture screenshots using standard Windows keyboard shortcuts.\u00a0 See my tip from August 2010<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 There are also many 3rd party screen capture programs<\/strong><\/a> if you need more features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
