    a good trick my wife showed me not long ago......

    if you have a "snipping tool" in your bottom toolbar, click it....
    make a box around the area you want to copy.....
    you can now draw lines, circles or whatever as I have on the attached....
    go to "File....save as".......
    give it a name and save it where you want(I always save to my desktop and delete it later)
    now you can attach just as you would a picture....

    this works good when copying snapshots of google maps to show fishing spots.....

    I just can't believe you don't have the snipping tool if your computer was purchased from any store selling computers with Microsoft software.

    Try bringing up the program panel by clicking on the Microsoft circle on the left hand side of the task bar. That will bring up a panel on the left side of the screen showing your most used programs. If you don't see the snipping tool there it may be found in the accessories folder on that panel you opened by clicking the MS circle. On that program panel you opened you you may have to scroll that panel down to see the rest of what is in that panel.

    Mine doesn't scroll down but at the very bottom of that panel it does have a box titled All Programs, clicking on it, which will open up the rest of the programs and folders available from that program panel. Once the rest of it is displayed you should see the accessories folder to click on which will open up showing the various accessory programs such as calculator, paint, snipping tool and others located in that folder.

    Good luck.

    LBM,

    I knew I had the cut and paste but sometimes didn't know about the snip it tool. Thanks for your email... I usually keep my computers for a long time because I hate the fact that every time I get a new one all the rules, processes and everything else but the keyboard changes. So my older computer was starting to show its age and I am on my wifes desktop which has new version of programs loaded on it.
    Thanks to your info I found the snip it tool and put it on the tool bar like PShiners posted. Now I will play with that for a while haa!
