To Windows users ...have you used your 'Snipping Tool' yet?

Oddly enough, I didn't know I even had a 'Snipping Tool' let alone what it was, where to find it or what the heck I'd use it for...that is until recently, when I needed it for a sponsored post on my What Wrinkles? blog.

If you use your personal computer as I do, for work purposes, then you too may find it a very handy little tool. You can add or take information from a spreadsheet, proposal or webpage to share during business meetings, use in seminars, explain actions in webinars, add content to websites or blogs...

Use your Snippng Tool to snip or capture full or partial screenshots anywhere on the web or your pc, basically any open window! Grab the entire shot or narrow in on a specific area of a picture, text or both you can also choose to make it rectangular, freeform or full screen. Once you've captured the information you can use the pen feature to write notes, point to a specific area or highlight. Once finished simply email it or save it to your computer as a PNG, JPEG, GIF or HTML..
