Snipping Tool
Many times when looking for images for our articles, you might find what you are looking for, but it is part of a larger image. To be able to grab a portion of an image, there is a free program that comes with Windows called "Snip & Sketch." This frequently used program allows us to capture (snip) and personalize a part of an image and then save that snipped part rather than the whole image.

Here is how it's done:
 * Bring up the article that contains the image you desire to capture and personalize.
 * Access Snip & Sketch by holding down the Windows icon key and Shift key, then pressing "S".
 * The article on your screen will be shaded.
 * As you move your mouse, you will see a white cross appear on the page.
 * With your mouse, move this white cross to the place on the subject image that will be one of the corners of the image you want to save.
 * Press the left button on the mouse and drag the white cross to the opposite corner of the image you want. As you do so a white box appears showing you the area you will be saving.
 * Release the left mouse button and the bottom right side of your screen will display the image selected and the words: "Snip saved to clipboard".
 * Click on that box and the clipped image appears on your screen.
 * Using the icons at the top of the page, you can select to edit and/or save the clipped image.
 * Once the image is saved to your computer, it is ready to be uploaded into Wiki.
