The snipping tool is an easy way to capture part of your screen to share with others. It is like screen capture. First you need to locate it:

• Windows 7: Click on start > All Programs > Accessoriies > Snipping Tool
• Windows 8: Go to the Start Page, right click or swipe up from the bottom, and go to all programs. Scroll to the right
• Windows 8.1: Go to the start page, click the down arrow in the bottom left ofthe tiles and find it to the right
• Windows 8 all: you can also just go to the start screen and start typing “Snipping” and it should come up.

From these, you can easily pin it to your startmenu, or taskbar for quick access. Once you open it, here is how it works:

• Click “new”
• This will allow you to select an area of the screen
• Once you select an area, a new window will pop up that is the image of what you selected
• Click File > Save As to save it.
• You must choose a location for the file like Pictures
• You can also change the file type. The defualt is png which is very universal, but jpeg is technically more universal.
• Click save
• You can now either close the snipping tool, or click new to do another one.
