Snippy (no, this is not about birth control methods)
I recently came across Snippy, a rather helpful tool. Snippy creates an icon that, when clicked on, let's you mark out a region on your screen that you want to copy on to the clipboard. You can then paste it in to a Word document or whatever else you want.
The Snippy website said that it only worked in IE, but I tried it in Firefox and Outlook and it worked there too. Now, one caveat: what you outline does only copy as an image (red outline and all) - not as text. It's literally taking a mini screenshot (see below for an example).

Office 2007 or Vista (not sure which it comes with) has this same sort of tool - the Snipping Tool. I love it. So much easier than doing screen shots, pasting into Paint, cutting out of Paint, then copying into something else.

I use it all the time, in combination with the shift-key.
Brilliant tiny program!
