Taking Screenshots using Windows’ Snipping Tool.

The sniping tool is Windows built-in screenshot utility. It’s simple to use and comes in handy for the tope of blog postrs we are making.

To Open the Snipping Tool:

  1. Click the Windows button on your desktop. (alternatively, press the Windows key on your keyboard)
  2. Start typing Snipping Tool. (Windows will predict your text and the Snipping Tool will be available before you’re finished typing.)
  3. Click Snipping Tool on the Start Menu. The Snipping Tool should then be available.

Taking Basic Screenshots with Snipping Tool:

  1. Click Mode on the Snipping Tool menu bar.
  2. If Rectangular Snip is not selected, select it.
  3. Click the New button.
  4. Right-Click and hold your mouse button where you want the first corner of your screenshot.
  5. Drag your cursor to the opposite corner of your desired screenshot, then release the mouse button. (The window will un-fog showing you the area of your desktop that will be copied.)
  6. Click the Save button to save your image.

    Thanks, Bill! For you Mac users, just hit shift+command+4, you then position your crosshairs, let go, and voila, your screenshot is saved to your desktop.
