Snipping Tool

[today’s run: 3.4 miles]

I had a co-worker show me something really neat today.

It is called the Snipping Tool.

He’s been sending me these screenshot emails with an embedded picture of just a bit of the screen. And today he showed me how he does that.  It seems to be a regular part of Windows 7, I don’t know if Windows XP had it.

Go to the Start Button, then type ‘sn’ in the “search programs and files” box and the Snipping Tool will come up.

Fire that guy up and you can snip any rectangle on your screen and put it in the clipboard.  You can save it as a graphic or you can paste into an email or whatever.  Cool stuff.  You can also mark it up with a colored pen or a highlighter.
