Course: AIT 198 Special Seminar - Logic For Industry

There are LOTS of ways to do this - Windows has a snipping tool built in, for example!

To capture a snip, do the following:

1. Open Snipping Tool by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Snipping Tool, and then, in the list of results, click Snipping Tool.
2. Click the arrow next to the New button, select Free-form Snip, Rectangular Snip, Window Snip, or Full-screen Snip from the list, and then select the area of your screen that you want to capture.

The captured area of the screen appears in the window, where you can write or draw on it, save it, paste it into a document, etc. (Move your mouse over the icons to find COPY, and then use Ctrl+V or right-click/paste to put your image into a document)

Here's a simple and generic way to take a screenshot:

To use Windows capabilities to create a “screenshot”, you’ll first capture the image, and then paste it into a document. Then you’ll name and save that document, and that makes a file ready for you to upload, etc.

1. Capture the image:

When your screen shows the window you want to capture –

Press the ALT and the Print Screen buttons at the same time

This places the image into your clipboard, or temporary storage area

2. Paste the image:

Open or switch to a word processing document [Word, Writer, Wordpad (not Notepad)]

Press the CTRL key and V, to paste the image into the document

3. Name/Save your document

No matter how you capture a screenshot, save it as a file in a location you know, and then you can attach it or upload it anywhere!
