You’ve probably seen screen shots of a website or other document in a video or PowerPoint presentation before—and, probably even on occasion have needed to perform this feat yourself. Well, there is the down and dirty way to accomplish this task…you can hit the function key on your PC, then the PRT SC button, then paste in a Word doc, however that method has some severe limitations.
There are also some specialized software apps that will assist you in the area of creating screenshots and thumbnail images…some are free, some are not. CNET has a list of many to choose from…one of the more popular free versions is ScreenHunter, which both CNET and users rank very high. If you need to create a lot of screen shots and thumbnail images, you may opt for Snagit, which I find to be an outstanding product. It does cost $49, but you might find the added functionality work the price of admission. Snagit does offer the product Free-to-Try for 30 days and is also ranked very high by CNET and users.
If you’re interested in learning more about Snagit, here is a helpful video.
