There may be times when you need to include a screen shot within your Word document. The easiest way to do this is as follows:
This action results in the entire screen being pasted in your document. If you wanted, instead, to only copy and paste a single dialog box or the active window, simply use Alt+PrintScreen in step 2.
If either of these methods still does not fit your needs (for instance, you want to include only a small part of the screen), you can use the following:
You should note that instead of pressing Ctrl+V to paste an image into Word, you can also use the Paste Special option from the Edit menu. This option gives you greater control over how an image is inserted in your document.

Word (like all the new Office products) itself has a built in screen capture (Insert, Screenshot). I put this on the Quick Access Toolbar as this is one of the features I use regularly.

For portions of screen its much easier to use a screen capture program - many available. I find Screen Hunter (free) does what I need quickly and simply. Options to include/exclude cursor etc.
