Gone are the days when you had to take a screenshot and edit the image in Ms-paint or other similar application and then insert into an Office application. Microsoft Office comes with this new feature which makes taking screenshot much easier and and without using any third-party tools.You can take screenshot right away from your MS Word window and even save the pictures to your hard drive. This feature will be really handy for those people who have to take screenshots quite often in Office applications.  I will show you step-by-step processes  to take screenshots in Word 2010.

1. Open Word and click on Insert tab. You will find a Screenshot button on the Illustrations panel.
2. Click on the Screenshot button which will show all the active screen under Available Windows. If you want to take screenshot of whole window, just select the window and the image will be automatically pasted in your word document.
3. If you need to crop your screen, click on the Screen Clipping. Select the portion of screen you want to capture and the image will be  inserted in your word document. If your selection is not accurate, you can still crop your image using the Crop tool in Word.

You can also do more basic editing using features in Picture Tools. If you want to save the screenshot, just right click on the image and select Save As Picture.
