Accessories bar in the Start Menu.Then, copy the screen you printed into

Paint. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+V at the same time, or by going to the tool bar, click Edit and then select Paste.

Step Three:To crop your image, choose the “Select”

tool from the left hand column.Make a box around the section you

want to show on your website, PowerPoint, or other document. This is called “cropping.”

Step Four:After you have made your selection,

when you let go of the mouse button, you are able to move the piece of the picture that you selected. Move that to the very top left corner of the program.

Step Five:Now you can get rid of the rest of the

picture that you don’t want around your selection. Go to the very bottom right corner of your image and move your mouse until you get the double end arrow to show up. You can move that until it’s right around the picture you want. Go to the next slide to see a picture.
