Afterthought...

For anyone who did not know your computer was a smarty pants, so smart in fact that you can "snip" pieces of your screen like Sunday's coupon section, here's how to do it:

1. In your start menu, select all programs

2. Open Accessories, and there you see it, "Snipping Tool" (it has a cute little scissors icon)

3. Snip, Snip, Snip away!

4. There are several snip options, such as free from (let your creativity show, no one's looking), rectangle, screen, etc.

5. Save your snip for later use.

  1. Good work around! Did you manage to download Jing? I'm curious as it's cross platform and shouldn't cause problems, so interested to find out if it worked and if not, what a solution might be.
    Does Snip It enable you to annotate and do video like Jing? That's what I like about Jing, but when I am not annotating, then I often just use "Grab" which is a the screen shot tool that comes with the Mac.

  2. I haven't been able to download Jing yet. I think it might be related to my Microsoft issue I've been having with iTunes. I'm thinking if I get the Microsoft issue fixed I'll try again.

    I've been playing around with the Snipping tool but it only snips, doesn't record.
