Inserting screenshots

Screenshots are basically snapshots of your computer screen. You can take a screenshot of almost any program, website, or open window. PowerPoint makes it easy to insert a screenshot of an entire window or a screen clipping of part of a window in your presentation.

To insert screenshots of a window:

Select the Insert tab, then click the Screenshot command in the Images group.

The Available Windows from your desktop will appear. Select the window you want to capture as a screenshot.



The screenshot will appear on the currently selected slide.



To insert a screen clipping:

Select the Insert tab, click the Screenshot command, then select Screen Clipping.



A view of other open windows will appear. Click and drag to select the area you want to capture as a screen clipping.



The screen clipping will appear on the currently selected slide.
