snipping tool capture data"At the moment I am collecting info from different examinng boards to put into a table in my own words. Before I would have had to copy/paste - reformat into a size now I just use the snipping tool. With this I just wack the info onto the spreadsheet, ready for me to put into my own words - totally speeds up the process!  Its made my life a lot easier!

If I am using Internet Explorer it even saves the URL when you have collected the data and saved it as an HTML file for use later.  Its also good for taking stuff from pdfs which is always a nightmare!"
