Save Time with the Snipping Tool
The Windows 7 Snipping Tool is a very
hand tool that lets you quickly capture pretty much anything on
your screen. Using your mouse you can snip a whole window, a
full screen, a rectangular shape or use the free form option and
draw round what you're trying to capture.
Once snipped you can then annotate,
copy, save or email the image all from within the Snipping Tool
application window.
If you want to quickly send an error
message to IT support, capture all or part of a webpage or document
then use the snipping tool. It's so much quicker and more useful
than using the Print Screen option on your keyboard.
