Inserting screenshots

Screenshots are basically just 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:

1. Select the Insert tab, then click the Screenshot command in the Images group.
2. The Available Windows from your desktop will appear. Select the window you would like to capture as a screenshot.
