Insert Screen Clips in PowerPoint (or Word)

               Insert Screen Clips in PowerPoint (or Word)

Word and PowerPoint now make it easy to insert screen captures into a document by selecting Screenshot from the Insert tab. Doing so launches a gallery of currently open windows, and you can click one to insert an image of the window into your document (or you can click Screen Clipping, and drag the mouse to select the screen region that you want to clip and paste into your document). When you press Enter, the screen capture gets inserted automatically.
Bonus tip: Here's how to get a screen shot of the app you're running—something that's normally impossible because Word and PowerPoint disappear while you drag the mouse to make a screen clip. If you want to make a screen shot of PowerPoint to use in PowerPoint (as I did in this image), simply use Word to take the screen shot, and drag the image from Word into PowerPoint.
