[dba-Tech] Office 2010 new Insert Screenshot feature

You can use irfanview to do the whole thing. First copy whatever screen you need (PrtScn), the paste it into ifranview. Next use the mouse to define the area you want to  crop and then hit Control-C. You can now paste the crop into any other application you want to work with.

I use the Windows included PAINT accessory to crop. Paste the screen capture into paint, crop it and then save. I don't need to do a lot of it though.

It saves as a BMP file though, which are pretty big. So I then use IRFANVIEW to convert to JPG.
