Screenshot (and if in Russian, screenshot) Is a great thing that will come in handy more than once or twice in your daily work. Illustrating an error in a program, composing sensible instructions for colleagues, or “taking a picture” of an image you like on the Internet, which you can't download in any way - all this without the ability to take screenshots is almost impossible.

Did you know that with the release of MS Office 2010 (and in all newer versions of Office), you can take screenshots directly from open document MS Word? Today I will teach you how to use this wonderful tool.

How to take a screenshot directly from a MS Word document

So, you have created a text document and you want to illustrate the text with a screenshot. Go to "Insert" tab, and, click on Snapshot button... Please note, a small panel will immediately appear with thumbnail images of all open in currently applications.

Taking a screenshot without closing MS Word is not a problem since Office 2010.

Further, everything is even simpler - by left-clicking on the desired thumbnail, we take a snapshot of that very window, and right there, this snapshot is added to an open text document in the form of an image. Ready!

Screenshot added to text editor page

But the possibilities of MS Word have not yet exhausted themselves. As you already know, the Word is not just a word processor, but rather an entire publishing system, albeit an amateur one. And if so, then it offers not only text processing capabilities, but also image processing. Let's decorate our screenshot by focusing on the content.

Double-click on the inserted image on the sheet, and then top panel tools from "Insert" will switch to "Format"... Now, using the tool group Picture Styles, blur the edges of the picture a little. In my opinion, it turned out just fine! Using styles and preset settings for working with images, you can significantly increase its visual appeal and make it more understandable for those to whom your report was intended.

And let's decorate the screenshot with some effects. Beautiful!

How to take a screenshot of not everything, but only part of the screen?

Yes, it is no more difficult than "photographing" the entire active window. Go to "Insert" tab, and in the "Illustrations" toolset, Press Snapshot button, and look at the very bottom of the window that appears. Click on the button Screen Clipping, after which the text document will be automatically minimized, and the screen will be covered with "white fog".

Screen clipping is another MS Word tool that allows you to take screenshots, not only of the entire contents of the window, but of its selected part

Feel free to hold down the left mouse button, outline the area you want to place in the document, and release the button. A moment, and the document already flaunts the screenshot you just took of a part of the screen.

Select the area with the mouse and take a screenshot

The only thing that needs to be said is that after activating the clipping tool and folding the document, only the last viewed tab will appear on the screen. That is, if you have more than 1 application window open, and a screenshot needs to be taken from one specific window, it makes sense to first deploy the application that you are going to "screenshot", and then start MS Word and use its tools to capture a part of the screen ...

Without resorting to help third party utilities... In this short article I will show you how to do this.
Departing a little from the topic, I repeat that it is easy to create a screenshot using standard tools and programs included in standard set Windows. In particular, I mean Paint. I will not go into details, because about this is written quite extensively in the article, the link to which is located above.

So, to take a screenshot and immediately place (paste) it into Word, you can simply press the PrtScr key on the keyboard, being in the exact place and window that you want, and then paste it hot Ctrl keys+ V to the desired location in the document.

Note: to take a screenshot of the active window (which is on top of all windows, for example, an error message or not in full size) so that the Start button, the taskbar and everything that you see in front of your eyes do not get caught in the screenshot, you need to press Alt + PrtScr

You can also select a tab directly in the Word itself Insert and there click on the arrow under the heading Snapshot, as a result of which all available and active windows should open, by selecting the one you need, you will insert the screenshot directly into Word:

Moreover, a screenshot of the active window will be inserted, as if you pressed Alt + PrtScr

There is one nuance in this method - in order to take a snapshot of the window, it must be maximized. As soon as you collapse it, it will immediately disappear from the available ones. This should be taken into account so that later the question "Where is the boring window available to me ???" does not arise.
To make everything correct and accessible, you first open the window you need, for example, even in the My Computer Explorer, then start Word without minimizing the Explorer, and then you will see that you can insert it.

The advantages of this method of creating a screenshot include the fact that you do not need to press the PrtScr key, as well as the fact that you can immediately take a screenshot of the exact fragment of the window you need directly in the Word (this often happens). To do this, you need to click on the "Screen Cut" button, which I highlighted in the screenshot above. This will open the last active open window slightly lightened and a cross, with which you select the desired fragment, and then immediately becomes the active Word in which the screenshot is already inserted. Well, right there, you can edit it a little using standard tools Vorda.

I do not urge you to use this particular method of creating a screenshot, but I just want you to know about it and someday this method will be useful to you. For example, if you are typing and working in a Word and needed to insert some kind of window.
By the way, if you want, you can save this picture as a picture by right-clicking on it and selecting "Save as Picture". Then it turns out that you created a screenshot without using the keys, but using only the mouse and Word =)
