Continue reading below to learn how to take a screenshot in Microsoft Word 2010. Step 1: Launch Microsoft Word 2010. Step 2: Click the Insert tab at the top of the window. Step 3: Click the Screenshot drop-down menu, then choose the open window from which you want to pull the screenshot. Note that there is also an option at the bottom of this menu that says Screen Clipping. If you choose that option, it will take you to the window that was last open, and you can draw on the screen to choose only the portion of it that you want to include as the screenshot. This is very helpful if you want to include a partial screenshot of one of your windows. Word 2010 will treat the inserted screenshot as an image, so you can use the Picture Tools tab at the top of the window to apply various changes to the image. This will allow you to make some common edits, essentially eliminating any need that you might have for editing the screenshot image in a separate program before adding it to Word.
