This tutorial will show you how to "Copy as table" from a screenshot image captured by the Snipping Tool app in Windows 11.
Starting with Snipping Tool (version 11.2409.22.0) for Windows Insiders in the Canary. Dev, Beta, and Release Preview Channels, Microsoft is adding a new option for “Copy as table”.
You can use “Copy as table” to easily copy and paste structured table data into an email, document, or spreadsheet.
Please note: the current implementation of the feature works best when your screenshot only includes one table.
EXAMPLE: Snipping Tool showing copy as table option with text pasted into Microsoft Excel
