windows7 screen captures using snipping tool -how to use the snipping tool in Windows 7 Windows 8 10

I want to show you a great feature that's called the snippet tool the reason that you use the snippet tool is to take screen prints now we've always been able to hit the print screen key and that captures the entire screen okay like watch on my keyboard I'm going to hit the print screen key now I'm going to go into Microsoft Word and then from here I would just do a paste I'll just do a control V or actually I'll just do a paste up here and notice how it gives me a picture of that entire screen which is fine but let's say we wanted just a piece of that screen well here I have to you know cut and paste that or or crop it in Microsoft Word well let me show you what the snippet tool does for you uh to turn the snippet tool on I'm going to pick on the start menu and then we'll pick on all programs we'll go into go to accessories and then under accessories I have this thing that's called the Snipping Tool we'll click on that by the way this is is also available in um in Windows Vista as well so I'm just going to move this window over here and it's actually making a new uh snip at this time so now notice my mouse I'm just going to highlight a certain section of the screen and notice what it did it took a a snapshot of just that one little area of the screen now what you would do is uh I I right clicked in that picture I'm going to pick on copy now I'll go into word or the PowerPoint and when I do a paste it's just that one section of the screen okay watch that again now that the Snipping tool is open what I would probably do is just minimize that and put it you know onto my test bar down here I want to pick on the Snipping Tool I'm going to pick on new and now you just highlight whatever part of the screen that you want and this will work in any program that may be open let's say I just wanted these three icons so I just highlight that it made a snip out of that at this point I could save that as just a regular uh a picture file or if I wanted that into a word or an Excel or PowerPoint document or any kind of document I'm going to right click on that we'll pick on copy uh we'll go into word and here we'll just do a paste and now there's that picture so instead of uh doing a print screen and then we have to cop you know crop that to get exactly what wanted to now we can get exactly what we want using this snipping toy I think it's an outstanding feature uh in this case it's ask me if I actually want to save the picture in the Snipping Tool I don't want to do that so I'll say no
