It’s a built-in
feature of Windows 7. To use the tool - launch it by clicking Start, All
Programs, Accessories, and Snipping Tool. When it opens – your screen will go pale whitish and
you will see a crosshair tool. Then simply put your cross-hair where you want
to start and then left- click/drag the tool over anything you want to
snip (cut out) – then release. It’s similar to the cropping tool in
photo-editing software. You can snip error messages, text from the web or
documents, pictures, etc. There are also tools that cut in different shapes. Once
your snip is captured, you will get a pop-up window that gives you the option
to copy the snip and send it via email or copy and paste it to a word document,
email, etc. It’s a very handy tool to have!

As an alternative to using the Alt key & Print Screen/PrtScn Key to capture a
screen shot, you can also use the Windows Snipping Tool. It’s a built-in

Programs, Accessories, and Snipping Tool. When it opens – your screen will go pale whitish and
