Tech Tip – how to make instructions in Windows 10 using Steps Recorder

Do you ever need to show someone else how to do something on a Windows 10 computer, e.g.  how to format a document or make a graph in Excel?

The “Steps Recorder” facility does this for you, and creates a file or a slide show you can share showing the steps you take. The beauty of it is that they can save it for future reference and they can share it round their colleagues too.

To record your steps:

• Go to the start menu and type in ‘Steps Recorder’.
• Click on the Steps Recorder App.
• Click the start button and carry out the steps you would like to demonstrate.
• Click on the stop button at the end. The Steps Recorder will produce a document of your steps showing screenshots.
• You can then review the recorded steps as a file or as a slideshow.
• Save the steps as a .zip file.
