Using New Screenshot Option in Office 2010

Microsoft Office 2010 comes with another new screen capturing option. You can easily capture screens of any running application or desktop and insert into office 2010 application like Word, Excel, PowerPoint with simple 2 clicks.

This built-in screen capturing option is very handy instead of installing any third party utility or using print screen key from keyboard. You can capture either full screen Window of a program or specific region of the window.

This guide applies to all Office 2010 applications that have screen capturing option. Let’s see how we can do this in Word 2010.

Step-1

Run the application, re-size and adjust the size of the Window that you want to capture..
