Function PrintScreen can work to capture those disappearing ones also

The snipping tool on windows has a delay function. The replacement, snip & sketch, does too. I usually set that to 2 seconds, and then hover over it until it snaps.

 Hi All,

I'm trying to create still graphics of step-by-step instructions for both Word and Excel 365.

The challenge is when I hover the mouse over an icon in a Group once I press the Printscrn button or use a Windows hotkey to try to capture that word description over the icon disappears once you press a key on the keyboard.

Ex. Excel 365 (cf. other Word versions) you hover your mouse over the ab down arrow c in the Alignment group and the Words Wrap Text (which appear when you hover the mouse over that icon) disappear the second you press Printscrn.

Other Excel versions the words Wrap Text appear in the Alignment Group - no hovering required.

Same applies to Word 365 (maybe not other versions) > Paragraph group > Sort - where that word only appears when you hover over it.

How do you capture that hovering text?

Any free screen capture software which will capture hovering over functions in another software like Excel, Word, Libre Writer or Calc?

Thank you!

Charles.
