Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Screenshot of a Specific Area on Windows
Taking a screenshot of a specific area on Windows is an easy task. Follow the steps below to learn how to do it:
1. Press the “Windows” key and “Shift” key simultaneously, then press the “S” key. This will open up a small toolbar at the top of your screen with options for taking screenshots.
2. Select the option that says “Rectangular Snip” from this toolbar. Your mouse cursor will turn into a crosshair symbol, which you can use to select an area of your screen that you want to capture in your screenshot.
3. Click and drag your mouse cursor over the area you want to capture in your screenshot, then release it when you are done selecting the area. The selected area will be highlighted with a white border around it, indicating that it has been selected for capturing in your screenshot image file.
4. Once you have finished selecting an area for capturing in your screenshot image file, click on either “Copy” or “Save As…” from this same toolbar at the top of your screen (depending on what action you would like to take). If you choose “Copy”, then this will copy just the image data itself into memory so that it can be pasted into another application such as Microsoft Paint or Word; if you choose “Save As…” then this will save out an actual image file onto disk so that it can be opened later or shared with others via email or other means of communication/sharing files online/offline etc..
5 Finally, if desired, open up any application where images can be viewed (such as Microsoft Paint) and paste (or open) in order to view/edit/share etc..the captured screenshot image file!
