- Make sure the graph you want to copy is visible on your screen.
- Go to your computer's Start menu
(in the lower left corner of your computer screen, unless you've moved it)
and select Snipping Tool.
If it's not showing, click All Programs
and then the Accessories folder
.
You should find Snipping Tool in there. - The Snipping Tool pop-up has several choices under New. Select Rectangular Snip.
- As you put your mouse near the graph you want to copy, you should see a big plus sign. Put that at one of the corners of the graph.
- Depress your mouse button and slide diagonally across the graph until the entire graph is highlighted. Release the mouse button.
- Your "snip" will appear in a new window.
- You can do one of two things:
- Click Save (the purple floppy disk icon) to save the snip as a file.
- Go to the document you want to put the graph in and Paste (Ctrl-V) there. The graph should appear in your document.
