Let's Begin With a ScreenShot In Office Mix

Open PowerPoint and ensure that the Office Mix Add-In is loading, see image above.

1/ Click on the Mix tab in the Ribbon Menu at the top right of your page.

2/ Make sure that the window/s of the applications are open, BEFORE you click on ScreenShot, it will by default, automatically select that open application screen, or your desktop, if you don't have any application open.

3/ Click on the ScreenShot icon, this will automatically show the available screens in a drop-down box, now in this box, click on the screen of the application you want to capture.

4/ Now select the area of the Screen you want to capture by using the mouse, left-mouse click on the top left point of the area, holding the mouse button down moving the cross by dragging the mouse cursor to the bottom right where you want to crop the area of the screen.


5/The screen is automatically pasted into PowerPoint. With that the Format Screen/Picture Tools Ribbon appears.

6/ In this example, I've taken aNormal Screenshot of one of my blogs in WA and I've added:
  • Colour
  • Artistic Effect - Texturizer
  • Picture Style - Bevel Perspective
  • Picture Border - 4.5 Thick
  • Picture Effects - Glow
  • Crop To Scroll - Horizontal
  • Adjusted Width - To Fit Slide

You can play around with all of these different features, and there are some I haven't mentioned. So work your way from the left of the Ribbon Menu to the end, and see what artistic pieces you come up with! Have fun!

7/ Now to save that picture as it is, you need to right-mouse click on the picture object, which will show a shortcut menu, then left-mouse click on Save As Picture, to save the picture in your folders where you can find it again.


8/ If you wish to Crop the Screen Clipping, click on the Crop Icon top right of the Ribbon Menu and crop it according to your specifications.The finished product looks like this, saved as a picture. It can also be copied for immediate use to paste elsewhere.

Now that we know how to Create A ScreenShot, let's move on to Create A Screen Recording

I'd never heard of Mix until reading your tutorial Edu. I've just downloaded it - thanks for the heads up! Appreciate you taking the time to compile all this for us.

I have just had a quick look and it does look interesting. I have bookmarked it and scheduled it to study it thoroughly later. Thank you for sharing your research

You are most welcome, it took quite a while to compile, but I think it will benefit a lot of people here at WA. Thanks for you kind words of encouragement.

Thank you for asking this VERY good question - YES! it can be done, I've just figured out how to do it.
1/ Right-mouse click on the Page in the Notebook that you want to put in OfficeMix, then click on copy.
2/ Open PowerPoint and create a blank presentation slide, or open the file in PowerPoint you want to paste it into.
3/ Right-mouse click on the slide and choose any one of the following:
Use Destination Theme
Keep Source Formatting
Picture
or Keep Text Only
See which one fits for your project, then click on that icon.
Voila! It's now in your PowerPoint Slide!
Thanks for asking a great question! Let me know if you need further help! :-)

I haven't been able to digest this entire tutorial, but I look forward to drilling down on this because its one aspect of my website development that I want to explore.

Thanks for taking time to create this. I will come back.
