There are a few things you need to do in order to take a screenshot in Microsoft Word. First, open the Microsoft Word application and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. Then, select “Screenshot” from the list and click on it. Next, enter a brief description of what you want to screenshot and click on “Take.”
Taking screenshots is pretty easy; it’s a feature built into most operating systems. If you’re already working on a Word document, though, and want to add a screenshot to it, you can save yourself a few clicks by using Word’s built-in screenshot tool.
In an open document, switch to the “Insert” tab on the Word ribbon.
Next, click the “Screenshot” button.
You will be greeted with a thumbnail image of every Window you have open at the moment.
You can click one of the thumbnails to have a screenshot of that window immediately inserted into your document. You can then position that image like you would any other illustration.
If you want to capture a specific area on the screen instead of an active window, click the “Screen Clipping” command instead of a thumbnail on that Screenshot drop-down menu.
Your entire screen will dim, and you can draw a rectangle over just the portion you want to capture.
As soon as you select the area, Word adds the image to your document right away.
