Using the Windows Snipping Tool

 The Snipping Tool allows you to take a snapshot of anything on the screen and convert it to a JPG image which can be used in other applications.  To use the tool, follow the instructions below:

·       To open Snipping Tool, select the Start  button, type snipping tool, and then select it in the search results.

·       To choose the type of snip you want, select Mode (or, in older versions of Windows, the arrow next to New), and then choose Free-form, Rectangular, Window, or Full-screen Snip. When making free-form or rectangular snips, use your mouse to select the area that you want to capture.

·       To take a new screenshot using the same mode you used last, select New.

·       Use the Save and Copy buttons at the top of the snip to save or copy it to the clipboard.
