Indicate the type of Selection from the drop down list. Open the Capture tool to the Image tab.Ģ.So here are the steps for setting up your capturing environment for use in the automatic workflow that I’ll share. While this is true with many tools, with screen captures, I had never found the need to use these features until I was staring up a mountain of work with similar content in different forms. In order to have a frictionless workflow for capturing images to build your library, you need to do a few things to set up your system ahead of time. But I mentioned last post, I’ll never go back! So it’s only been recently that I’ve really embraced Snagit as my capture tool of choice. Once Office added the ability to insert a screen clipping for Word and PowerPoint, I often used that.
I kept using it long after I moved on from FrameMaker/Robohelp. When I first started freelancing, I used Adobe Technical Communication Suite for FrameMaker and Robohelp, and I really liked the simplicity of the RoboCapture tool that came with that suite.
I love that SnagIt has made that process so friction-less. I normally like to capture my images as I’m writing content to have the words that go with the picture and the picture that goes with the words. For different projects or deliverables, like user guides and online help, I might choose a slightly different settings and outputs for this automated workflow. The project I’m currently developing is for training on Office 2016 products and includes instructor guides, student training manuals, PowerPoint slides for instructor use, and self-paced eLearning, which includes some presentation-style slides, interactive practice slides, and review questions.
