a) For the screen capture you want, hold down the Ctrl + Alt + Print Screen key (far upper right on the keypad)
b) Go to a Power Point slide (the two students last night were working with Power Point but the steps work with any office software that allows copy & paste).
c) Paste the image into your slide/document –the screen capture may be bigger than your slide/document/box where you want image – that’s okay, we’re about to fix that.
d) Open the Picture Tools and select Crop – when selected, image has black handles around the corners and in the middle of each side. Use the black handles to crop down the image to the part of the screen you want as an image.
e) May have to reduce the image’s size in order to crop out some of the screen capture. Reduce image’s size(slowly) first and then crop.
f) Enlarge the image, if needed – you should now have the part of the screen captured as an image to use in your Power Point or document.

If you have Microsoft Office 2010...
Microsoft 2010 has a great screen capture feature which allows you to do all kinds of neat stuff.
Go to Insert, Screenshot, Screen Clipping and it lets you choose just what you want to insert. It’s in Word and Outlook as well.

Windows 7 provides a tool called the Snipping Tool that is located in the Start menu and Accessories Folder. It will allow you to capture images on the screen.
