In this module, you learn to manage your time with Microsoft Outlook 2013, use SkyDrive, use Microsoft OneNote 2013, and take screenshots.
For these skills, you capture an image of your entire desktop and paste it in a WordPad document. You also capture an image of the Taskbar on your desktop and add it to your study notes in OneNote. You then use the Clipping Tool in OneNote to capture information from a website.
As you work through this textbook, if you have difficulty or encounter an error message, you can take a screenshot and send it to your instructor. After reviewing the screenshot, your instructor can help you to learn what went wrong or can explain how to fix the error. Your instructor may also want you to take a screenshot to confirm that you have completed some of the skills or assessments in this textbook.
A temporary storage area, the Clipboard holds the screen image so that you can paste it into a file. For example, you could paste it into a WordPad document. You can also save a screenshot as a PNG file while you are capturing it.
With Snipping Tool, you can capture a portion of the screen, copy it to the Clipboard, and then paste it into a document. You can also save the screen snipping in various graphic file formats.
In OneNote, you can use the Clipping Tool to capture information you would like to reference from a website or other document.

You can use the Print Screen key to take a screenshot of your entire screen. This key is located in the top right area of your keyboard. When you press the Print Screen key, the image of your current screen is copied to a temporary storage area called the Clipboard. You can then paste the screenshot into a document. In this skill, you paste a screenshot into WordPad. WordPad is an app that is installed with Windows 8. If you want to save the screenshot, press Win + Print Screen. This will capture the entire screen, copy the screenshot to the Clipboard, and save the screenshot as a PNG file in your Pictures folder.
On a laptop, you may need to hold down the Fn key while you press the Print Screen key. The Windows Clipboard will store only the most recent image captured.
Landscape orientation makes the width of the page longer than the height and is a better fit for most screenshots.
Make sure to click the Paste button rather than the Paste button arrow.
The view you see when browsing for files will vary depending on your Windows configuration. It may not exactly match the view shown in the illustration in this slide. Screenshots are named Screenshot (1), Screenshot (2), and so forth.
You have several options for sharing a screenshot. You can print it and share the hard copy. If you want to share an electronic copy, you can share the screenshot file as an email attachment or upload it to a web page. In addition, you can save the document you pasted the screenshot into and then send the document as an email attachment.
Like WordPad, Paint is a Windows 8 app. To start Paint, press Win + C, click the Search charm, type Paint in the search box, and then click Paint in the Apps results list.
In Skill 1, you learned to take a screenshot of the entire desktop by pressing the Print Screen key. If you want to capture only a portion of the screen instead of the entire desktop, you can use the Snipping Tool. The Snipping Tool is a Windows 8 app. After you take a screenshot with the Snipping Tool, you can copy it to the Clipboard and then paste it into a document. You can also save the file and insert it into a document or send it as an email attachment.
Another Way: As an alternative to copying and pasting the screenshot, you can save the screenshot as a graphic file and then insert it in a document.
You do not need to save the snipped image to WordPad before saving it to OneNote.
The illustration in this slide displays the Snipping Tool dialog box.
If you are not happy with the screenshot, click the New button to start over.
You have several options for sharing a snipped screen. You can print it and share the hard copy. If you want to share an electronic copy, you can save the image as a graphic file from within the Snipping Tool and then share the graphic file as an email attachment or upload it to a web page.
If you save your screenshot, you will be able to use it again later.
If you make a mistake, click the Eraser button and erase your mistake.
Screenshots and screen clippings can also be captured within the Microsoft Office 2013 applications using the OneNote Clipping Tool. After you open this tool, it will be available to all other Office 2013 applications. The Clipping Tool works like the Snipping Tool, allowing you to copy portions of your window to save as image files and paste into documents. For example, you can use the Clipping Tool to take a picture of your screen and insert it into a page in your notebook. The Clipping Tool is useful for capturing information that might change, such as a breaking news story, and for copying from web pages whose formatting might not transfer using copy and paste. The date and time of the capture are automatically added to the note container.
In Excel, Outlook, and Word, you access the Clipping Tool by clicking the Screenshot button in the Illustrations group on the INSERT tab and then clicking the Screen Clipping option. In PowerPoint, you access the Clipping tool by clicking the Screenshot button in the Images group on the INSERT tab and then clicking the Screen Clipping option. If the Clipping Tool is not available in Excel, Outlook, Word, or PowerPoint, open OneNote. The Clipping Tool will then stay open even after you close OneNote.
Notice that the source, date, and time are added to the note container.
The illustration in this slide shows the location of the Screen Clipping button.
