Isn't that what Alt-Printscreen does already?  Not sure why you'd need 
separate software just for that.  But some software does have features 
that allow you to "draw" on your screen to select an even smaller 
section, however.

Colleen - since what you get when you grab a screenshot with printscreen 
or alt-printscreen is an image, you may want to try, for testing 
purposes, to past it into an image editing program, rather than a word 
processor.  The simplest one would be MS Paint which is found under 
accesssories.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "capture the screen in sections" - 
can you post an example perhaps?

Thanks,
