Describe how to take a rectangular screenshot using the Snipping Tool and preserve the result for later use.
Answer
Open the Snipping Tool and click New. Click and drag over the desired screen area to make the rectangular capture. When the tool reappears with the captured image, use Save to keep it as a file, or Copy to paste it into an image-editing program. Save it because an unsaved capture is deleted when a new screenshot is taken or the tool is closed.
Explanation
The basic rectangular workflow is to click **New** and then click and drag over the desired region. The Snipping Tool temporarily disappears during selection and returns after the capture with actions such as Save and Copy. Saving is essential if the image must remain available after the tool closes or a new screenshot is taken. Copy is useful when the next step is editing or inserting the image elsewhere. **Key takeaway:** Capture the region, then explicitly save or copy it before moving on.\n\n**Glossary:**\n- **Rectangular snip**: A screenshot of a rectangular region selected by clicking and dragging.\n- **Save**: Stores the screenshot as a file.\n- **Copy**: Places the screenshot on the clipboard for pasting.
