The Windows Snipping Tool for taking screen shots / screen grabs

I frequently need to take a screen shot / screen grab of just part of what is on my screen which I will then paste into a Word document or PowerPoint slide. My favourite tool for doing this is the Snipping Tool which comes free with Windows 7. Here’s how to use it.

  1. Open the window that you want to take a a screen grab from.
  2. From the Windows 7 start button search for snipping tool.
