You can also use the Snippings Tool (also on Windows 7), which will let you select a specific portion of the screen (rather than the whole page).

Additional Tools

For more sophisticated screenshots as well as screen capture videos, you can try Jing, which is free for both Mac and Windows, or Skitch, which is free for Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
