How to get to the Snipping Tool - Start – All Programs – Accessories – Snipping Tool
Sometimes, verbally conveying your thoughts may not be as effective as using a picture. Windows Vista provides a screen-capture tool the Snipping tool, which you can use to capture an image of any part of the desktop or any program that is open.
Snipping Tool
The Snipping tool allows you to capture the screen or window of an active application. This tool provides four types of snipping options:
1. Free-form Snip. Draw an irregular line, such as a circle or a triangle, around an object.
2. Rectangular Snip. Draw a precise line by dragging the cursor around an object to form a rectangle.
3. Window Snip. Select a window, such as a browser window or dialog box, that you want to capture.
4. Full-screen Snip. Captures the entire screen when you select this type of snip.
The captured image is then displayed in a preview window in which you can annotate, share, and save the image.
Snipping Tool Options
Application Provides options for hiding the instruction text, copying snips to the clipboard, adding URLs below the snips (for files saved as HTML), prompting to save snips, displaying Snipping tool button on the Quick Launch toolbar, and enabling or disabling screen overlay.
Selection Provides options to enable to disable the selection ink color from appearing on the captured image.
Selection Ink Color When you select the area to be captured, a border appears around the selection area. You can choose the ink color of this border.
Screen Overlay When you capture a snip, a faded white screen appears until you select the region that you want to capture.
