The Snipping Tool
Have you ever wanted to save some text, a graphic, photo, or table from a document or website but are unable to do a copy and save? Well, I have the answer for you—a "snipping tool" that will allow you to capture the entire screen or just a piece of it.
When capturing you can do one of the following:
• Free-form Snip. Draw an irregular line, such as a circle or a triangle, around an object.
• Rectangular Snip. Draw a precise line by dragging the cursor around an object to form a rectangle.
• Window Snip. Select a window, such as a browser window or dialog box, that you want to capture.
• Full-screen Snip. Capture the entire screen when you select this type of snip.
You can save it to your computer for future use, or just paste it into an email, document, or PowerPoint.
And the best news… IT’S FREE! If you have PC with Windows Vista or Window 7, go to Start, "all programs," "accessories," "snipping tool," and begin!

Specialty Travel
Over the past few years – the feedback from agents has been that although you find our magazine-directory Specialty Travel Index attractive and useful – you use our website SpecialtyTravel.com with more frequency. This indeed is the direction of most industries as we are all on-line more often than using printed media.
In keeping with this trend – we have decided to transition to internet-only. All of the information that you have looked forward to receiving in Specialty Travel Index is completely on-line at SpecialtyTravel.com. Our internal search engine “Find Your Adventure” directs you to thousands of opportunities from our advertisers. New and interesting travel stories – as well as Special Offers – are constantly updated on the site.
We will continue to send you monthly e-newsletters highlighting the special offerings that can be found on our site. We know that you used our FAM Trip directory in Specialty Travel Index and we will include new FAMS in future e-newsletters.
