Inserting a Screenshot in Your Word 2010 Document

In Word 2010, Microsoft has included the ability to capture screenshots. That means you can capture images from you screen and insert them directly in your Word document. This is particularly useful if you're creating technical documentation.

With Word 2010's Screenshot feature, you can capture an entire open window. Or, you can take a clipping of a portion of the screen. To capture and insert a screenshot in your Word 2010 document, follow these easy steps:

1. Position your cursor where you would like to insert the screenshot

2. Open the Insert tab

3. Click the Screenshot button

4. From the popup menu, select an open window. Or, select Screen Clipping

5. If you select Screen Clipping, the Word window will be minimized to the taskbar

6. Click and drag over the area of the screen you would like to capture

7. When you release the mouse, Word will be maximized; the screen capture will appear in your document.
