If you have ever tried to explain computer configuration or processes to someone over the phone, you know the process can be quite frustrating. You are never quite sure if the person on the other end is looking at the same thing on their screen that you are.
A quick way to ease this predicament is to write up your instructions and include pictures. Word, in conjunction with Windows, makes this quite easy. Try this the next time you are faced with this task:
At this point you can e-mail the document to the remote site, or you can transmit it in some other way, such as printing or by disk.

I agree with the comment below from Allen. The Windows Snipping Tool works well at capturing an image, whole or partial. In addition, the Print Screen buttons on the keyboard never functioned or did what they where supposed to.

While this is a convenient way, I think another way offers a better advantage.
Use the Snipping Tool to access ONLY what you want and then place it in the document.
I do this all of the time.

Got a version of Word that uses the menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
