Default How do you take a 'snapshot' of an excel page (including toolbar)

I use the capture from FastStone and it is FREE.

Their image viewer is good also.

Depending on what you're copying, you may be able to use this:

Select a range
shift-edit|Copy Picture

Then go to MSWord and paste there.

This is nice for things on the worksheet (ranges, objects, charts, ...). But
not good if you need the toolbars.

If you're going to do this a lot, you may want to look at something like Snagit
from http://www.techsmith.com (commercial product--not freeware).

Or look for a freeware/shareware program that does the same kind of thing.

I'm doing some informal Excel training for a family member and wanted to make
up a few pages for her to refer to. I've seen pictures online of the excel
toolbar, for example with the File dropdown menu showing. How do I 'take a
picture' of this to put into another program (word or Adobe InDesign)?
